Real-Time Performance Insights
Call center analytics delivers real-time insights on metrics like Average Handling Time, SLAs, Drop Rates, etc. And provide instant input on what is happening where. Users can drill down to understand exactly when the service level was not met and what attributes were associated with it. Users can also compare various KPIs based on different time intervals. This comparative analysis provides insights on which time intervals had low service and gives indicators on factors that are causing this. For example, team managers can identify if the service level dropped during a given time interval due to low headcount, dialler issue, or any other factor and can take corrective actions promptly.
Strategic Vision with Predictions
Call center analytics enables users to easily assess what could be the probable call volume in the next hour, day, or the week. They can look SLA trends based on the analysis of KPIs like agent headcount, ASA, AHT, etc. With predictions on the probability of meeting SLAs and the corrective actions, they can plan the course of future actions strategically.
