            The power of simulation in skills-based routing

            The power of simulation in skills-based routing

            by Nick Martin
            June 12, 2024
            Share

            In the fast-paced world of customer service, where demands are high and resources are limited, businesses are constantly looking for new ways to boost efficiency and elevate service levels. With the increased adoption of digital, contact centers must manage interactions across multiple channels while maintaining a consistently high level of service.

            That’s why a growing number of forward-thinking organizations are leveraging simulation to deliver on the promise of skills-based routing. Here’s what you need to know to maximize your operational potential using simulation.

            Understanding skills-based routing

            At the heart of effective contact center operations lies the concept of skills-based routing. Unlike traditional routing methods that operate on a first-come, first-served basis, skills-based routing matches customers with agents based on their specific expertise, ensuring that each interaction is handled with precision and proficiency. By leveraging skills-based routing, contact centers can realize a wide variety of benefits, including queue service level management, increased staffing efficiencies, and improved first-time resolution rates.

            But while skills-based routing offers undeniable advantages, it also presents unique challenges. Traditional workforce planning methods, such as Erlang C, fall short in capturing the complexities inherent in skills-based routing. These methods rely on rigid assumptions that do not align with the dynamic nature of modern contact centers. As a result, they often result in overstaffing and inefficient resource allocation.

            The rise of simulation

            Recognizing the limitations of traditional planning methods, forward-thinking organizations are turning to simulation as a solution. Simulation offers a holistic approach to workforce management, allowing organizations to understand and leverage the interconnected relationships between customers, employees, skills, technology, contact routing algorithms, and management techniques. By simulating various scenarios, it delivers on the promise of skills-based routing, enabling organizations to allocate resources efficiently and enhance service levels.

            How CXone WFM improves skills-based routing with simulation

            CXone WFM stands at the forefront of simulation technology, giving contact centers a comprehensive framework to navigate the complexities of skills-based routing. By dynamically adjusting workforce planning as variables change, CXone WFM overcomes the limitations of traditional planning methods, empowering contact centers to achieve higher service levels and optimize workforce planning.

            In an era where doing more with less is imperative, simulation has become a beacon of opportunity for contact center leaders. By embracing the power of simulation, organizations can unlock the full potential of their operational capabilities and set a new standard for excellence in customer service. Read The Power of Simulation white paper to learn more about how simulation is enabling contact centers to navigate the complexities of skills-based routing with confidence and agility.
