8 Capabilities of NICE Workforce Management Solutions

Forecast accurately – Manage your workforce more effectively and eliminate under and over-staffing with AI and ML-powered predictive analytics. Leverage the market's most advanced AI and ML tools to find unseen patterns in the historical data used to generate forecasts of volume and work time. NICE WFM's intelligence learns the efficiencies and gaps in forecasting unique to each interval and work stream in your contact center, and it flexibly adjusts to overcome them. Natively use our unique, industry-leading forecasting algorithm that utilizes interval-specific weighted moving average methodologies or leverage new advanced forecasting methods with Box-Jenkins ARIMA, exponential smoothing and multilinear regression. Allow your workforce management solutions to review the algorithms and select the best choice for your specific needs.

Simulate real-world prioritization, routing and skill assignments to determine work allocation expectations, deferrable work propagation and multi-site/multi-skill efficiencies. Use robust new algorithms that support the forecast parameters of NICE WFM and simulation of exact routing rules to generate extremely accurate staffing requirements. AI capabilities learn the skillsets of individual employees and generate forecasts that precisely reflect the multi-skill capabilities of your contact center. Utilizing machine learning, NICE WFM optimizes scheduling and determines the best model to use on a day-by-day basis.
