Accurate contact centre planning and forecasting in just minutes

Your contact centre’s success depends on accurate operational planning, scheduling and forecasting. Along with determining standard call volumes, an effective contact centre plan must include handle times, sick time, agent attrition, outbound contact rates and more. Yet, if planning is only a sporadic budget exercise, you could miss rapidly evolving internal or external changes that have a significant operational impact.

Transform your contact centre planning with Decisions, a vendor-agnostic, what-if analysis, staff- and budget-planning management system. At its core, Decisions is a series of algorithms that develop efficient operational plans and accurate forecasts in a fraction of the time of traditional contact centre planning. Ideal for executives and workforce planners, Decisions answers important questions around operations, service, customer experience and resourcing.
