Reducing contact centre shrinkage

Shift planned shrinkage into idle time

Call centre shrinkage has a substantial impact on your organisation’s bottom line. While some shrinkage is unavoidable, it can be better managed through smarter scheduling. QStory’s AI platform proactively identifies idle time in agents’ schedules, enabling you to move planned shrinkage allowances for activities such as compliance training, coaching and 1-2-1s into these windows.

 

The ROI was almost instant, we have been able to reduce our shrinkage as forecasted in the business case, helping our organisation reduce cost and improve efficiency. QStory really did deliver on its promise!
