Solutions for ForecastingSchedulingIntradayIntegrations

Workforce Planning

Simple intuitive system for answering the most common questions:

How many folks do I need?

Where do I need them?

How long do I need them for?

Built with concurrency in mind, facilitating your omnichannel workforce optimization needs.

Model Types

We natively support back-office staffing models in addition to the standard contact center workforce model.  The key difference between the two is that our back-office solution queues unworked items and comes with unique service level agreements (SLAs) that match real-world operational strategies.

Inventory Forecast & Burndown

Forecast inventory growth and burndown while ensuring you are appropriately staffed for the ebbs and flows of your work. 

Answer your most common questions:

  • How many FTE do I need to maintain my target standing inventory?
  • How many OT hours should I forecast for?
  • When will I reach a healthy inventory?
  • What type of work is increasing?
  • Are my people where I need them to work through this as quickly as possible?

Staffing Model

  • Simple web user interface
  • Excel-like features: Pivot, copy paste in-and-out, drag handle and export
  • Works natively with other Novel CX products like Scheduler
  • Integrate outside data via API, Stream, Import, etc
  • Group and filter data elements to easily aggregate drill-down data

Multi Skilling

Instantly update agent attributes to change your task routing profiles, while Novel CX intelligently tracks who and how many are able to perform a specific skill.  We then update your staffing models based on the distribution of work across your staff.

Step 1

Roster Staff

Associate staff with projects and campaigns based their training

Who is trained to do what?

Step 2

Assign Skills

Dynamically assign tasks to workers without having to remember what each person is trained for.

Who gets what tasks or engagements?

Step 3

Routing Strategy

With tasks associated with workers, how do you want to handle concurrency in your staffing models?

When folks can do more than one task concurrently, how do you want to account for how fast work is completed to maximize efficient staffing?
