MACHINE LEARNING & AUTOMATION
A guide to evolving call centre forecast accuracy to improve service levels and optimise resources.
Contact centres are the fundamental link between customers and businesses. Forecasting how many agents should be available in the contact centre at any given point is a critical process, and it's time consuming.
Microsoft Excel is the most commonly used software for forecasting - but it was never designed to produce hefty forecasts. There are several challenges associated with using Excel as a forecasting tool such as single person dependencies, not using all available data and lack of automation.
In this paper, we demonstrate the power of machine learning to save time whilst improving accuracy and ultimately elevate your customers' experience.
FORECASTING IN EXCEL
Lack of innovation
A lot of organisations have been using Excel for forecasting since their inception, and they're struggling to innovate.
Not using all available data
Due to Excel's limitations, forecasting managers can often disregard data that may be very useful to their forecasts.
Single-person dependencies
Another challenge with Excel is that often individual planners will have their own preferred tools or spreadsheets for forecasting. The lack of a shared modelling workflow leads to single-person dependencies and operational silos, preventing effective collaboration and stressful scenarios if that person is away from the business.
Lack of automation
Many teams simple spend too much time on cleaning data, pre-processing it and preparing it for the forecasting Excel spreadsheet. This manual work is not only error prone, but also prevents planners from experimenting with new algorithms and ideas to improve accuracy or forecast faster.
