    b. Simulation-Based Scheduling:

    NICE is the only WFM solution on the market that uses simulation during the forecasting and scheduling processes to more accurately predict the balance between customer demand and agent availability and skills. The ability to re-simulate allows you to easily and effectively react to changing conditions.

    c. Intraday Analytics:

    NICE WFM provides users with automated intraday re-forecasting, accurate net staffing analysis by queue, schedule re-simulation and optimization, and skill- aware change management. These features allow NICE customers to easily and effectively read and react to changing conditions.

    Ability to forecast, schedule, and manage all customer contacts and back office work, enabling organizations to be highly productive.

    NICE is the clear choice for the following reasons:

    magic quadrant for workforce engagement management

    CXone WFM takes a two-pronged approach to schedule optimization. Schedules are initially optimized when they are created, and there is a schedule optimizer that runs automatically throughout the day to analyze existing schedules. The optimizer presents schedule change recommendations to managers who can then decide whether or not they want to accept the proposed changes.

  • Fully embedded simulation that provides the most accurate required staff in a multi-skill, multi-site, multi-work type environment.

  • Time-off / scheduling requests and change management tools from mobile.
  • Flexible, feature-rich scheduling.
  • Self-service portal for automated time off management, collaboration, and employee engagement.
  • Forecasting with Artificial Intelligence: NICE is the only WFM vendor that offers four unique forecasting models with an Artificial Intelligence Best Pick algorithm that helps users choose the most accurate model for each day of the week for easy-to-use-to-use accurate forecasting.
  • Analytical Simulation of Requirements: NICE uses patented simulation algorithms to simulate exact routing rules, agent skills, and priorities in a multi-skill environment to ensure accurate coverage of all work across multiple channels and work types.
  • True-to-Interval (TTI): NICE’s True to Interval technology enables NICE WFM to be the only software that accurately accounts for asynchronous or discontinuous work items typical of digital channels and back office workstreams. In addition, TTI solves for extended synchronous contacts when the handle times are longer than the planning period. By adding two new fields, “Answered” and “Active,” staffing requirements are based on when the work was actually being performed as opposed to when the work item was completed.
