By allowing fine-grained interval-level planning, workforce managers gain visibility into fluctuations in call, chat, task, and email volumes throughout the day, such as predictable surges or lulls.

Incorporating interval-specific shrinkage and headcount data improves forecast accuracy, reducing over- and understaffing, which benefits service levels and operational efficiency. This functionality is deployed globally where agent scheduling is supported.
