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.

Retargeting campaigns have reduced booking cancellations but new users still need clearer guidance
I believe that retargeting is the best feature that Insider offers. The ease of use and the results are why the retargeting feature stands out for me. Insider reads the results near real-time and provides AI segmentation. We only need to prompt, and then Insider will work to determine which segment is best for each campaign. Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year. This is tracked through Insider; however, we also add additional attribution using AppsFlyer. We see significantly fewer employees needed for outbound calls because with Insider, we perform a reconfirmation of booking schedules automatically. This allows us to reduce the need for customer service outbound agents, and Insider has also helped us reduce cancellations.
