Predicting future demand is challenging, as the incoming number of calls, chats and other channels involve large uncertainty. This makes it tough to know exactly how many agents you need across the board to service your customers during peaks and troughs.
Agents are often not happy with the working hours and schedules created. As employees have specific skill sets and knowledge of your business, you have another reason to retain them. With low schedule flexibility and uneven breaks, however, how can you make sure to do that?
Different locations have different labour laws and regulations. Scheduling agents working in different parts of the world to make sure your nightshift needs are met is a complex task. On top of that, you have to assign multi-skilled tasks and multi-channel shifts. How will you operate efficiently while staying fully compliant?
Predict future demand per type of call up to one month or even one week in advance by taking factors and time zones unique for each location into consideration. Minimise under- and overstaffing accordingly to reduce long waiting times and maximise customer satisfaction.
Automate your planning by using the flexibility of AI-driven scheduling to create shifts that fully cover demand in significantly less time. Allow multi-skilled agents to give great service throughout different channels, including web chat or calls.
