4 Important Reports That Contact Centers Need To Maintain

Call center reports are an integral part of the contact center platform. Contact centers that were running on-premise and have moved to the cloud will not like to have any compromise with the call center reports.

C-Zentrix cloud contact center solutions produce over 70 reports. This was a significant benefit for companies moving from homegrown call center or legacy call center platforms to enterprise call center software. Reports allowed managers to keep track of and learn from each call that their support or sales departments made or received and their agents’ productivity and overall performance.1.

However, I still think contact center reports are a useful but still underutilized tool. What are the best ways to make the most of this powerful feature? This blog will introduce you to a variety of approaches for making the most of the reports your contact center solution generates.

The process of turning unstructured data from your Dialer, ACD (Automatic Call Distributor), IVR (Interactive Voice Response), and WFM (Workforce Management) systems into useful reports is known as call center reporting.

Typically, these reports are based on important call center indicators like:

1. First call resolution (FCR): Evaluates a customer service representative's capacity to resolve a query and dispose of it on the first call.

2. Adherence to schedule: Checks to see if agents are working the full amount of time allotted to them.

3. Average wait time: The typical amount of time a customer must wait in line or for a callback.

4. Customer satisfaction: Indicates how content customers are with a company's services and goods.

And many more KPIs that are relevant for the contact center. To evaluate the performance of your company over a given period, you can turn these reports into graphs or charts. Through call center reporting systems, this can be generated automatically or manually. While you may build fantastic reports using any reporting platform, it's crucial to make sure the reports add precise methods for calculating metrics to deliver more pertinent and trustworthy data. KPIs that are represented clearly will make it easier for managers to determine which metrics require more investigation. This enables managers to monitor precise performance measures and link contact center data to other data streams to establish KPIs that are customer-focused and used company-wide.

 

An Automatic Call Distributor generates both historical and real-time reports. The few among those that every contact center considers pivotal are Call Summary, Detail Call Report, Abandon Calls, Lead wise detailed Call Report, Agent break time Re, port, etc. ACD reports are filled with a wealth of useful data and can be visualized using graphs and charts to identify important trends in the contact center.
