The Business Challenge: As the company continued to grow with seven locations and close to 1,500 agents, the contact center faced some challenges related to managing its agents more efficiently.

There was also a need to expand scheduling and forecasting capabilities and improve a process that was very time-consuming, especially for multiskill contact centers.

In addition, the solution allows agents to manage their own schedules within a set of pre-defined rules that ensure customer commitments are maintained. Click here to read more on Workforce Analyst
