A workforce planning, scheduling and forecasting platform you can trust

Your customers expect exceptional support every time they interact with you. And they don’t expect that to change — even if their preferences have since they last reached out. If you want to keep up with evolving expectations, you need the right agents and technology. Manually analyzing historical data to determine staffing needs doesn't work. It's time-consuming and inefficient. And, by the time you've figured out how many agents you need, your prospects have had time to go somewhere else.

Long-term forecasting and planning tools from Genesys streamline the process. Cut the bulk of your hands-on forecasting activities so you can speed up data analysis to inform strategic decisions. Schedule weeks in advance with confidence. Achieve up to 90% forecasting accuracy in less time. Spend more time nurturing agents so the right support is always in place.

A single platform

Use one platform for your planning efforts to gain efficiency. Automated tools and processes make it easy to execute planning responsibilities. And that gives supervisors more time to spend with your team.

Accurate and reliable

Forecasting only helps your business if it’s accurate. AI-powered algorithms deliver up to 90% long-term forecasting and planning accuracy. Use historical and recent data to make confident scheduling decisions.

"Perhaps the most important thing I have learnt from my experience, is the value of having a fully integrated forecasting and scheduling tool. When you can see the whole value chain, you get much greater insight into the way that the contact center performs and can make much more accurate forecasts."
