Improved agent adherence and scheduling have boosted satisfaction but reporting still needs real time

In terms of improvements for Calabrio ONE, since I do not work with forecasting, I think we could collaborate AWS with Calabrio ONE to get live data fed into Calabrio ONE, which would be even greater for forecasting. We pull the majority of our reports through Calabrio ONE, and something I have noticed is that for the intraday report, if we want to pull data at 12:30, we have to wait until 12:45. It is a 15-minute refresher window, which is lagging behind. This delay is the same for any report being pulled. I do not have a grand overview of forecasting, but it generally takes a long time, and my agents have not been able to collaborate AWS with Calabrio ONE in the forecasting aspect. Apart from that, everything else is working great on Calabrio ONE. I would love it if it was more real-time and if I could download the data almost immediately without waiting for that 15-minute buffer. I rate Calabrio ONE a seven because I feel it could be improved. As I mentioned, the 15-minute buffer is an issue, and the real-time feeding into forecasting could be better. If we could control Shift Bags within Calabrio ONE instead of using another application like Teleopti to manage Shift Bags or control overall shifts, that would be even better. Right now, we use a combination of Teleopti and Calabrio ONE to decide the Shift Bags. The quantity and quality of results provided by Calabrio ONE are accurate 95 percent of the time. The forecasting feature in the application might not be the most accurate, which is an area where we do have issues, especially when scheduling breaks at intervals where calls might be at a higher volume. Those are rigged. Apart from that, since breaks and other meetings get allotted automatically, we do have to manually move them around because that forecasting is not accurate. If that could be improved, it would be great.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ability to customize evaluation forms to organizational needs has been tremendous."

"We used Excel prior to having Calabrio; this tool has made our lives so much easier."

"The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support from all aspects of Calabrio, starting from the Sales team, to the implementation team, to the trainers, as they are all willing to support us through the entire process."

"By being able to manage better the time of the agents, and the ease of use thru intraday management, we have been able to move adherence goals from 80 to 85%, and we know that we can even bring it up to 90% in the near future, that alone has made our 6 locations that much more effective, resulting in better customer service for our patients and families."

"The Analytics software has been fantastic for the contact center."

"I was able to use Calabrio to provide data and analytics in a visually stimulating fashion which captured my audience's understanding with ease."

"The flexibility of scheduling through dynamic availability, work shifts, and dynamic scheduling is invaluable."

"Real-time quality score notification."

More Calabrio ONE pros

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

Cons

"Some of these new scheduling options are just that, new. So, updates are happening to ensure the product functions the way it was intended."

"The only issue I have found with Calabrio is the WFM side."

"A few of the features were "nice to have" features, but version 9.3 had some "deficiencies"."

"Data migration support would have been helpful. Skill groups/mapping was very difficult to understand."

"Need a column for hours scheduled on main page."

"It sometimes needs quite clunky work arounds for certain things, e.g. If I add exceptions into agent schedules such as holidays or long term sickness, it's not easy to just delete them."

"The biggest issue that we have come across is the messaging where we receive Time Off Requests."

"Initially, we encountered a little stability issue."

More Calabrio ONE cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
