Staff planning software / program for call centers — automatic shift schedules
More About Call Center Staff Planning
Staffing planning done with the help of AI-supported shift scheduling can increase productivity at your contact center, reduce costs, and increase employee satisfaction.
The foundation of an AI-supported shift schedule is the software’s intelligent algorithm. It collects all relevant data, such as call volume, processing times, historical shift schedules, and vacation times. Individual employee preferences in terms of working hours and breaks as well as their qualifications are also considered. Based on collected data, the AI recognizes patterns and predicts future call volumes. Employee preferences are automatically taken into account, as are legal and company requirements and regulations.
At the touch of a button, you can create shift schedules that include employee preferences as best as possible while still meeting contact center requirements.
AI-powered shift scheduling allows you to more accurately schedule your personnel resources while ensuring more fairness and equal treatment. You automatically ensure the workload is fairly divided among your employees by evenly allocating working hours and minimizing potential overload and understaffing. At the same time, it can simulate and analyze various scheduling scenarios to identify the most ideal schedule—one that meets call center requirements while maximizing employee satisfaction.
The shift schedule can be continuously monitored and optimized based on actual call center performance data. This allows you to quickly identify and implement potential improvements.
AI-supported scheduling can quickly respond to unforeseen changes (e.g., unexpectedly high call volume or employee absences) and create alternative shift schedules. This ensures high-quality customer service at all times.
