Workload & What‑If Analysis
Make confident decisions with scenario modelling that quantifies service, cost, and risk before you change your rota.
  • Demand profile: arrivals by interval (15/30/60 min), forecasts, seasonality and promotions.
  • Handle time: AHT by contact type/skill, wrap, after-call, setup, and variability.
  • Service targets: SLAs, abandonment tolerance, response times, priority rules.
  • Shrinkage and availability: absence, holidays, training, meetings, adjacency rules.
  • Skills & routing: multi-skill matrices, minimum staffing, cross-train options.
  • Operating constraints: contracts, shift lengths, breaks, part-time windows.
  • Costs & KPIs: pay, premiums, penalties, customer impact metrics.

We accept spreadsheets, CSVs, or direct exports from your WFM/CRM tools.

Analytical Methods We Apply
  • Growth planning: demand +20–50% — quantify extra heads, skills and shifts.
  • New channels or sites: digital/voice mix, hub‑and‑spoke routing, overflow rules.
  • Compressed work weeks: 4x10s vs 5x8s — service, fatigue, and cost impacts.
  • Seasonal peaks: temporary hours, overtime, and cross‑skill training ROI.
  • Service uplift: moving from 70/30 to 80/20 — staffing and budget delta.
  • Resilience: absence spikes, system outages, disaster level analysis.

Each scenario comes with clear trade‑offs, sensitivity charts, and recommended actions.

  • Executive summary with options, quantified impacts, and risks.
