How It Works

 You select the services that you want:  WFM Staffing Models and Capacity Plans, Forecasts, and/or Schedules.

 

  • First, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire about your contact center and provide us with your historical data.
  • Every week we will provide you with fresh updated forecasts in our weekly packet during a weekly tactical meeting.
  • We will provide you with a monthly WFM Staffing Model and Capacity Plan.
