Strategic workforce planning and decisions in minutes

Workforce management can be a lengthy task. To make the right choices, you have to consider information from across channels and business tools. And, as you add more systems and software your contact center, you also add complexity.

This makes it hard to zero-in on the necessary data to predict call volumes and staffing needs. But with workforce management software, it doesn’t have to be.

Decisioning tools can help. Improve your staffing strategies, develop hiring plans and manage business challenges. Intelligently assign resources to deliver the best possible customer experiences. With artificial intelligence (AI) support, it’s easier to crunch data across systems and software.

This data gives you accurate contact center forecasting in minutes. Use these insights to schedule employee time weeks in advance. Plus, by scheduling in advance, you have built-in flexibility when agents need it.

Data-driven workforce management decisions

Get the right answers

Easily determine how many agents you need week over week. Look at contact volumes, attrition and service levels to develop plans. Basing decisions on data ensures efficient and high-performance staffing and service plans.

Optimize your contact center

Long-term planning is about more than making schedules. Let it inform your talent management and improve your future workforce. Develop efficient just-in-time hiring, overtime allocation, vacation distribution and training plans. Then support your workforce with timely training.

Budget with confidence

Break down data silos. Use your historical data, from across systems, to answer what-if questions. Leverage these insights to predict costs, revenue and profits. Make decisions that support your long-term goals.

A workforce planning, scheduling & forecasting platform

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.

Seamless integrations

Our planning and forecasting tools seamlessly integrate with your customer experience platform. Bring information together to break down data silos. Use full context to enable quick decisions that will benefit your business.

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.
