Excellent tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I predominantly use Verint to roster staff in our branches at the right times to handle unified work. I.e., when is the best time for staff take phone calls, respond to ASYNC messages, and attend training sessions? I also use it as a tool to pull reports on adherence and to help managers complete staff reviews.

Pros

  • Generating shift events within a roster.
  • Showing a quick view of staff adherence to schedule.
  • An accurate track of our headcount.

Cons

  • When entering leave requests, each entry for a single person must be completed independently unless the days are consecutive. E.g., John wants a Tuesday and Thursday off in 1 week, but needs to work on Wednesday. 1 entry must be made for Tuesday, then another for Thursday, as multiple entries cannot be made at the same time.

Return on Investment

  • Increase the time I have to devote to non-rostering tasks, as Verint has streamlined the rostering process.

The potential is very exciting

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently utilising Verint Workforce Management Enterprise for our call centre and our physical store locations, this is so we can share staff between channels with ease, as well as seeking a scalable tool to introduce more web/email channels in the future. We are a business of approx. 1000+ frontline staff and we handle several million interactions per year. We were seeking an application that gives more power to our employees to choose the schedules that they want, and to help our frontline leaders manage the quality of their staff with a better user experience.

Pros

  • Quality Management
  • Speech Analytics
  • Coaching
  • Time Flex

Cons

  • We require more granular reporting functionality
  • (eg. historical employment type tracking)
  • Scorecards only update overnight, no real time functionality to make KPIs/objectives or load source measure data
  • More filtering opportunities on the Calendar page (eg. If you were looking for a particular shift and want to search through all employees)

Return on Investment
