Tactic provides office management software for flexible/remote workplaces.
If your company uses phones and needs recordings, the Calabrio ONE Quality Management is for you. Period. End of argument. It is hands down one of the best products of its type on the market. If you don't have a bunch of people you are needing to rotate through scheduling and no part time people, the WorkForce Management portion may not be for you as much as someone who has 200 employees in a contact center working across 3 shifts and needs to ensure phones are always covered at the right times.
Tactic is beneficial for every company who have just enough workplace stations. Most specially if the shifts of the employees are different. It helps every employee to have a seat plan and find availability for their current shift. The map that is shown in the website is also helpful as it is very user-friendly.
Our Version 9.3 needs a lot of improvement with sorting, filtering capabilities that I believe later versions address.
Version 9.3 does not send notice emails to agents when a schedule has been changed. Our former software did. I believe newer versions have this feature.
No "what if" function or module to test schedules/forecasts without Agents seeing their own schedules. If you want to "play with" scenarios, you have to use a time frame/schedule far into the future to prevent Agents from seeing this. I don't believe any of the newer versions have addressed this problem/issue.
Agents are not able to submit Shift Preferences in Calabrio. Our former WFM software had that capability. Now I have to record Agents' preferences on an Excel spreadsheet and schedule regular intervals for which they can submit their preferences.
It would've been a higher rating if they're able to partner up with other platforms like Liveperson chat support and have a better sense of urgency when it comes to resolving issues
Because, it took them time to coordinate back some updates for us when we had to report a few major issues. ie Volume data feed for our Email support/channel. I like the webinars, however to keep the community alive. I hope they improve the training modules too and how they training new WFM guys as part of their package
Calabrio One has far better customer engagement and customer service than the previous vendor. Calabrio is very easy to use and quick to obtain search results. We have had great success with Calabrio and are very happy with our move
We have only been using Tactic since I was hired here, so I am not able to compare it with other products. It is beneficial as it helps us work more effectively and efficiently. Moreover, it also counts how many users are logged in and the available stations as well.
A positive return that we have had is the ability to see the portion of the day that we are likely to be over and under staffed and use that data to modify schedules to allow for overtime or additional time off of the phones.
A negative impact that we have had is the additional use of WFM man hours to manually make changes to individual schedules since there is not a good option to quickly adjust several simultaneously.
Being able to monitor agent calls and activity has given us the ability to retain and promote high performing agents and remove agents that are not well suited to the contact center.
