Simply the Most Accurate Call Center Scheduling and Forecasting Tool on the Market Workforce Management (WFM) is the process of balancing work to be completed with available resources. Because workforce demands vary from day to day, and sometimes minute to minute, the crucial key is accurately determining the anticipated workload.
	Activ! Planner enables you to create, modify, or delete schedules for individuals or multiple agents with simple drag and drop mouse operations.

The result of being unable to accurately determine work volume is overstaffing or understaffing. Overstaffing is costly to the company, while understaffing provides inferior service, and results in customer dissatisfaction. Balancing the work volume and resources to achieve a desired quality of service is the essence of Call Center Workforce Management.
