You can also give agents a granular breakdown of their shift activities and notify them when their schedule changes. - View Historical Adherence Metrics
Discover how your schedules compare with how agents actually spent their time. To improve scheduling accuracy going forward, view the historical adherence dashboard. - Scheduling Agents for Shifts
Match agents to shifts with ease. Create shifts from templates or a capacity plan. Then set up scheduling rules, constraints, and objectives so that your planners can use the scheduling tools—get candidates, batch assign, and mass shift update—to assign agents to shifts. - Manage Shift Scheduling
Help your planners manage employee shifts efficiently. Scheduling tools-get candidates, batch assign, and mass shift update-help them find the right support reps for shifts based on scheduling rules, constraints, and objectives that you define.
