Call centers and contact centers
Call center monitoring software
for agent desktops
Call center monitoring covers two things: what happens on calls and what happens on agent desktops. Intelogos handles the desktop side, tracking availability, active time and app usage between calls, and works alongside the call recording and quality tools you already use.
Intelogos doesn't record calls, listen in or score call quality. Intelogos doesn't take screenshots.
Two sides of agent monitoring
What should call center monitoring software cover?
It should cover both sides of an agent's day: the calls, which your contact center platform records and scores, and the desktop work around them, which is where Intelogos fits. Most teams run both.
On the calls
- Call recording and live listening
- QA scoring and speech analytics
- Handle time, queue and ACD statistics
- Forecasting and shift scheduling (WFM)
Not covered by Intelogos.
On the desktop
- Availability against scheduled hours
- Active and idle time, with a separate idle threshold for communication apps
- Time in the CRM, helpdesk, knowledge base and softphone apps
- Team and Daily views for every agent, remote or on the floor
Without screenshots or keystroke logging.

Agent metrics
Which agent metrics can you track with Intelogos?
Seven desktop metrics, measured the same way for every agent: Availability against scheduled hours, Workday, Activity, idle time, app and website usage, the Team and Daily views and AI reports. Intelogos has no connection to your phone system, so time on calls is inferred from time in the softphone or communication apps your agents use, not from telephony events.
- Availability
- Tracked work time divided by expected work time, so you see how much of each agent's scheduled shift was worked. 85 to 100% is typical for active workdays.
- Workday
- Average time tracked per scheduled workday. Days with no tracked time count as zero, so missed shifts show up.
- Activity
- Share of tracked seconds with mouse or keyboard input. 20 to 50% is typical; it says how much input there was, not what was done.
- Idle time
- Stretches without input past a threshold you set: 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes, or off, with a separate threshold for communication apps. Idle time can be saved or discarded.
- App and website usage
- Time and activity per CRM, helpdesk, knowledge base, softphone and website, each marked Primary, Secondary, Distracting or Neutral per department.
- Team and Daily views
- Team compares KPIs per agent, grouped by department, manager or job title, with group averages. Daily shows each agent's day in 10-minute blocks.
- Generate Insights
- An AI report written from the page you are viewing: 5 a month on Analytics, extended on AI Intelligence.
The same KPIs power our employee productivity monitoring software for other computer-based teams, with categories set per department.

How it works
Call center agent monitoring in five steps
Intelogos collects data from agents' computers automatically, so supervisors get the same numbers for every agent, in the office or at home.
- 1
Install the tracking agent
IT deploys the background agent to Windows and macOS computers with a script or an MDM or RMM tool, or people install the visible desktop agent themselves. It records time worked, the applications and websites used, and keyboard and mouse activity.
Deploying background agents - 2
Set scheduled hours
Set expected work hours for the company, plus custom policies for part-time agents or specific teams. Availability then shows how much of each agent's scheduled time was worked.
How Availability works - 3
Classify your call center tools
Mark the CRM, helpdesk and knowledge base as primary or secondary work tools, and social media or streaming sites as distracting, per department. Engagement and Productivity are calculated from these categories.
Tools page guide - 4
Set idle rules for calls
People on a call may not touch the keyboard or mouse, so choose how long inactivity lasts before it counts as idle, with a separate threshold for communication apps, and whether idle time is saved or discarded.
Idle time settings - 5
Review agents and coach
The Team page compares agents' KPIs side by side, grouped by manager or department, and the Daily page shows each agent's day in 10-minute blocks. Generate Insights turns either view into an AI performance report.

Alongside your platform
How does it work with your contact center platform?
Intelogos doesn't integrate with telephony, ACD or contact center platforms. It runs alongside them on each agent's computer, and you combine the two data sets through CSV exports and scheduled email reports.
Your contact center platform
- Routes, records and transcribes calls
- Produces handle time, queue and adherence statistics
- Hosts QA scoring and speech analytics
- Feeds forecasting and scheduling (WFM)
Intelogos has no telephony, ACD or contact center integration, so none of this data flows into it.
Intelogos on the agent desktop
- Runs alongside the softphone, CRM and helpdesk on Windows and macOS
- Measures availability against scheduled hours and active and idle time
- Shows time and activity per app and website, per agent and per team
- Writes AI reports from the Team, Daily or Profile page
The agent needs no login to the phone system: it reads which apps are in use and whether there was input.
Combining the two
- Export the Team table or advanced reports to CSV or Excel
- Schedule email reports daily, weekly or monthly
- Put desktop time next to call metrics in your spreadsheet or BI tool
- On AI Intelligence, query the data from Claude or ChatGPT through Intelogos MCP
Supervisors usually keep the platform open for the calls and Intelogos for the desktop.
Plan details, including which plans include Intelogos MCP, are on the pricing page.
BPO client reporting
Can BPOs use it to bill clients accurately?
BPOs use Intelogos time reports and Availability against scheduled hours as evidence in client reporting. It doesn't produce invoices or certify billable hours: what you bill still comes from your contract and your phone system's call data, and Intelogos shows the desktop time behind it.
- Time reports per agent: when the workday started and ended, breaks and idle periods, with days marked full, short or absent against the schedule
- Availability and Workday per agent, grouped by project, manager or department on the Team page
- Projects tracking to keep each client engagement's time separate
- Scheduled email reports and CSV or Excel exports for the client pack
For multi-client teams, see our page on BPO employee monitoring.

Call center monitoring software checklist
Call center monitoring covers two things: the calls and the computer work around them. Use this checklist to see what Intelogos covers and where you need another tool.
| Capability | Why it matters | In Intelogos |
|---|---|---|
| Time worked against scheduled hours | Shows whether agents are working the hours they are scheduled for. | Included. Workday and Availability compare tracked time with expected hours, and reports mark full, short and absent days. |
| Idle time | Long stretches without keyboard or mouse activity can mean an agent is away from the desk. | Included. You choose the idle threshold (10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes, or off), with a separate threshold for communication apps. |
| Application and website usage | Shows whether time goes to the CRM, helpdesk and knowledge base or somewhere else. | Included. Time and activity for every application and website, classified as primary, secondary, distracting or neutral. |
| Agent and team comparisons | Supervisors need consistent numbers for every agent. | Included. The Team page compares KPIs per agent, grouped by manager, department or job title. |
| Detailed activity timeline | Helps you understand a specific day before a conversation. | Included. Daily shows each agent's day in 10-minute blocks, and Chronicle lists every application and window with start and end times. |
| Remote and in-office agents | Many contact centers have agents working from home. | Included. Background agents run on Windows and macOS, and desktop agents on Windows, macOS and Linux. |
| Privacy safeguards | Agents often have customer records on screen. | No screenshots, screen recording or keystroke logging. Intelogos records application names, window titles, URLs and activity levels. |
| Call recording and speech analytics | Needed to review what was said on calls. | Not included. Use your contact center platform or a QA tool alongside Intelogos. |
| Call metrics and QA scoring | Handle time, queue statistics and quality scores come from the phone system. | Not included. Intelogos does not connect to telephony or ACD systems. |
| Forecasting and shift scheduling | Staffing plans depend on call volume forecasts. | Not included. Use a workforce management (WFM) tool. Intelogos measures time worked against expected hours. |
