Company profile
researched Aug 2026Bright Pattern develops omnichannel contact center software that handles customer interactions across voice, email, chat, video, SMS and social messengers from a single platform. The company positions its offering as a 100% native platform combining automatic call distribution (ACD), artificial intelligence and workforce management, and makes it available as cloud CCaaS as well as on-premise or private cloud deployments for organizations with dedicated infrastructure or regulatory requirements.
The product set includes intelligent/skills-based routing and IVR, inbound and outbound handling with auto, progressive, power and predictive dialers, outbound messaging campaigns, omnichannel quality management with evaluation forms and calibrations, interaction search and recording, real-time and historical reporting, and CRM integrations including Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 plus a Microsoft Teams integration. An AI suite spans real-time capabilities (virtual/AI agents, live transcription, summarization and note-taking, agent assist with teleprompter, real-time alerts and sentiment analysis for supervisors) and asynchronous capabilities (transcription, summarization, interaction analytics and intent detection, and automated quality scoring). A natively built workforce management module covers forecasting, scheduling, intraday management with reforecasting, real-time adherence and analytics, with a mobile app for agents to view schedules and request time off. The company also markets Bright Pattern Mobile, described as a mobile app allowing customers to reach any employee across any channel.
