Vantage Point is a call center workforce management application from Pipkins in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Easy workforce management tool and the dashboard is well designed with multiple accessible functionalities. This platform allows easy data collection across other project management systems and the analytics which the tool provides are excellent and very reliable project planning and easy scheduling with effective and excellent management functionalities and initial implementing is also an easy process.
It's great if you have a small contact center and are very comfortable with Vantage Point's coding, and you don't use Macs. Outside of that it can be a pretty tough platform to use. If you are running a large contact center or anything that will change much, I wouldn't recommend Vantage Point
Due to the level of detail offered via statistics this program can become overwhelming for new users and especially upper management who just needs to see the highlights.
Once the initial set up of the software is complete and/or you are familiar with the software, it is easy to use and runs like a dream. However, if you are unfamiliar with the software or have used a competitor's product, some features can seem difficult to learn or get used to.
I was impressed with the support I received. There were never any long delays when I had issues and the representatives that I worked with were always patient and eager to fully understand not only my problem but our business processes surrounding the problem.
We didn't have a clear operating agreement, and whenever we would call or email them they would tell us they were working on something, then we wouldn't hear back. We could have solved the problems ourselves if we had known we needed to - poor communication
Implementation of the software was not difficult but it was tedious for us due to the fact that our processes had not kept up with the times and we had to make a large number of process changes along with setting up the software.
BambooHR is also easy to use and the user interface is friendly, but from my experience, it is better for smaller companies or companies that don't have a lot of clientele that they need to work around. The user interface of PARiM is more confusing as well and not as streamlined as Aspect's.
We picked Vantage Point based on functionality and price. We wanted something that was purely wfm and not anything else. Vantage Point has an a la carte solution and is very economical. In some ways, the failure of Vantage Point for our application wasn't Vantage Point's fault. We didn't dedicate as many resources as needed. That said, we didn't feel we got any support from their team
Improved service level: By utilizing the forecasting features and scheduling optimizers in the software, service level objections can be increased greatly- especially in a multi-skill environment.
Reduced workload for back-office employees: Being able to quickly schedule in bulk, quickly create forecasts, automate reports, and have agents' schedule requests automatically approved or denied can save massive amounts of time.
Agent efficency: By providing multiple tools to gauge agents' adherence, you can see massive improvements in the way your call center agents adhere to their schedule; which in turn, improves service level.
