What it is

Pipkins Vantage Point is workforce management software for forecasting, scheduling, planning, and performance management across enterprise, contact-center, front-office, back-office, and multi-site operations. It handles calls, chat, text messages, email, and back-office work items. Forecasting combines regression analysis with Pipkins’ Merlang model, and staffing calculations can use intervals down to five minutes. For scheduling, it evaluates scenarios for start and stop times, breaks, and lunches using a Sum of Squares algorithm across staffing intervals. Pipkins describes more than 100 comparison statistics, change-management tools, and real-time agent metrics. The WebAccess module lets smartphone and tablet users view agent status, modify schedules, send messages and notifications, and view reports in a browser. SwiftPik is available for iOS; the Android version is described as coming soon. Integrations include ACDs, email-response systems, multimedia queuing devices, and third-party SQL reporting packages. Pricing and availability require contacting sales.
