Operation Planning Associate at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

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

"I have found the video capture to be the most valuable feature."

"We are able to address compliance issues more quickly."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."

"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted my organization by helping us with time management, scheduling shifts, and enhancing efficient workflows, and I can say that it is the game changer in that field."

"The reliability of Calabrio ONE for recording has positively impacted our organization, as we are using it for multiple partners."

"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."

"Overall I feel this is a great product with a fantastic support network with an exciting features roadmap ahead."

"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted our organization as the clients were happy with the implementation; they initially used NICE and switched to Calabrio ONE."

More Calabrio ONE pros

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

Cons

"Calabrio ONE can be improved in the area of predictive workforce planning."

"The pain point I experienced with Calabrio ONE was with the PTO quotas, as I did not have the option to import the Excel files, meaning if I had 100 agents or 150 agents, I had to manually update the PTO quotas in the system, and if there would have been an option to import the PTO quota files in the same format, that would have been easy."

"There have been some imperfections in the product, however, support has ALWAYS stepped up and assisted until resolved, even if it meant a patch or something."

"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."

"We would like to see the backend SQL server improved for High Availability."

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

"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."

"Calabrio ONE can be improved because the biggest challenge is that it is unnecessarily complicated, as the reporting and data exploration tools are somewhat complex for new users."

More Calabrio ONE cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
