Calabrio

What do you like best about Calabrio ONE?
Oddly the thing I like best isn't any one feature, it's the responsiveness of the Calabrio team. Their Ideas Portal allows you to add ideas on improvements or features you'd like to see in the future. Calabrio releases new features and upgrades at least twice a year and there's a good chance one of your ideas can be included. They really listen to their customers. The community is amazing. Every month they have a Linkup where Calabrio users can ask questions, get advice, share examples of dashboards/reports, find out about new updates, what's on the roadmap. Those sessions have been hugely helpful! Besides that though, the WFM product is great to work with, and with AI being introduced in the web platform, it can lighten the forecaster's load to focus on other things.
Overall a really easy system to use. The implementation was pretty good as far as implementations go. The engineers really listened to what we needed to get out of our telephony feed and created codes that we could understand and manage post implementation. Any issues we've raised through tickets since, have been addressed in a timely manner and they don't leave you hanging.
I use the WFM platform every day as well as the new reporting platform Insights and rarely have issues. A really easy system to learn how to use and the more you use it, the more you learn about your business!

What do you dislike about Calabrio ONE?
Not much to dislike. Sometimes features are rolled out a bit prematurely, with need for improvement. But the community calls, Ideas Portal are great ways to suggest improvements and ideas to make them work better. A few wish list items for sure: to be able to notate each event added, that you could choose the adherence calculation being used in the MyTime App. But these are just gravy, all in all a great WFM system.

What problems is Calabrio ONE solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a global workforce and Calabrio has been absolutely instrumental in allowing us to schedule and manage coverage worldwide. The time zones are not an issue and it automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings time, no extra work needed! Not all systems do that. Calabrio allows me to forecast and analyze for each of the many languages we serve, truly allowing us to calculate the headcount that we need.
We have a small WFM team, two people, to manage a global workforce and Calabrio keeps coming up with ways to automate, giving us time to work on the bigger picture tasks like forecasting, creating dashboards and reports that make sense to our business.
