The reimagined Capacity Planner moves long-term forecasting from a one-and-done annual burden, to a dynamic, integrated component of workforce management. This latest functionality seamlessly integrates with ongoing scheduling and supports visibility, long-term workforce budgeting and forecasting, and dynamic staff planning.
Hiring shortages and the current business environment present contact center leaders with unique challenges. With the Capacity Planner, which is part of the Playvox Workforce Management solution, contact center leaders can:
- Create staffing scenarios to ensure they can meet demand and their budgets;
- Access projections based on historical data, actual and projected demand, and forecasted market shifts;
- Pinpoint contact center resource needs based on how shrinkage, leave and attrition projections will impact staffing and hiring; and
- Determine how and when to scale workforce levels in order to mitigate risks, while also addressing recruitment bottlenecks, shrinkage and leave.
