About CCMath
You want to deploy your employees as smartly as possible. So that customers who call, e-mail, chat or tweet are satisfied with your contact center. At the lowest possible costs. But that doesn’t always work. Or insufficiently. These are problems that are recognizable for many contact center professionals. Making accurate forecasts is also complex. And happens too often in complex Excel sheets. Efficient scheduling is also top sport.
Your challenges:
Low forecast accuracy:
You make every effort to get a grip on the accuracy of the forecast, while in reality you can only earn trust on your forecast when the accuracy is a lot better.(Un) expected events:
With so many (Marketing-) events coming to your contact center every day, it is difficult to keep an overview and to properly estimate the consequences for the required capacity.Save on personnel costs:
Your CEO wants to save on personnel costs. You see the potential, but you usually only know afterwards when you have scheduled too many or too few people.
Marketing budget is disappearing:
Your marketing department has set up an action, but due to understaffing in the contact center, the telephone is not picked up in time. Your potential customers drop out.Performing good analysis:
Forecasting and scheduling employees costs you so much time that you hardly have time to make a good analysis and consult with product managers, marketeers and other stakeholders.
Mathematically substantiated models
complex matter presented in a simple way
Since 2005, CCmath has been committed to making “difficult” call center mathematics understandable. So that every WFM professional can benefit from this in every contact center. Make accurate forecasts | Manage capacity more efficient | Scheduling employees smarter. One of the founders of CCmath, Ger Koole, spends half of his time optimizing the WFM process and the other half in the scientific world. Among other things, Ger wrote the book: Call center optimization. Vision: efficient planning of employees can improve greatly if companies use advanced mathematical methods. We ensure that these methods are accessible for every WFM professional. That is why we not only develop user-friendly software, but also organize WFM trainings courses at every level.
