Workforce Management by Industry

QStory runs in contact centres across financial services, travel, retail, utilities, technology and outsourcing. The platform is the same in each: forecasting, multi-modal scheduling, real-time intraday automation, back office and employee engagement in one cloud-native system. What changes is the pressure each industry puts on the plan, and which parts of the day are hardest to protect.

Financial services

Banks, building societies and insurers have to evidence mandatory training, give complaints and vulnerable customer conversations the time they need, and cover the back office and branch network as well as the phones. NatWest, Nationwide and Direct Line Group use QStory. More on workforce management for financial services.

Travel and leisure

Demand moves with weather, disruption and school holidays, and much of the workforce is home-based. Jet2 gives home-based contact centre staff control of their schedules with QStory, and increased coaching time by 87%.

Retail and e-commerce

Peak trading concentrates a year of pressure into a few weeks, and flexibility is what keeps people through it. eBay reduced attrition by 25% using the QStory Agent App. Fabletics also runs on QStory.

Utilities and energy

Billing cycles, outages and weather events reshape a day without warning, and back office case work builds up behind the phones. OVO and Anglian Water use QStory.

Technology and home services

Support demand follows releases, incidents and installation schedules across multiple channels. Vivint and Enova use QStory.

Outsourcing and shared services

Outsourcers run many clients, contracts and service levels from one operation, so intraday decisions have to respect each client’s rules. Merchants and CGI use QStory.

How QStory works across all of them

QStory reforecasts the day as it happens, finds surplus and shortfall as they appear, and makes the routine corrections automatically within rules your planners set: moving offline work into quiet periods, protecting the queues when demand spikes and handling teammate requests.
