Workforce forecasting

Know what you need before you plan.

Forecast demand from your own history and set how many people each shift and activity needs. The board shows where you're short, and the solvers plan to these numbers.

The number every schedule starts from.

Forecasting & staffing needs

From history to headcount. Hour by hour.

01Forecast

See demand before it arrives.

Ten forecasting models are tested on your own history of demand. The one that would have predicted your past best forecasts the weeks ahead, down to 15 minutes.

  • Ten models
  • Tested on your history
  • Down to 15 minutes
02Your data

Start from your own history.

Upload your own history of demand as a CSV, or we set it up with you. Contact centres can have Genesys or another contact-centre system connected on request, so the volume comes in by itself.

  • CSV upload
  • Contact-centre sources
  • 15-minute intervals
03Per shift

Set how many people each shift needs.

Give every role on a shift a minimum and a maximum. A shift below its minimum shows as an issue on the board, and Auto-fill plans to these numbers.

  • Min and max per role
  • Issues on the board
  • Auto-fill's target
04By the hour

And how many each activity needs.

Set the people you need for each activity, like Front desk, Phones and Admin, in 15-minute blocks. The day plan shows required against scheduled, so a short afternoon stands out before it starts.

  • 15-minute blocks
  • Per activity
  • Required vs scheduled
