What Pipkins Vantage Point is
Pipkins Vantage Point is an enterprise workforce management product for scheduling, forecasting, planning, and performance management. It serves enterprise, front-office, back-office, multi-site, and contact-center operations, covering calls, chat, text messages, email, and back-office work items. Forecasting uses regression analysis and Pipkins’ Merlang model, with staffing calculations available in intervals as short as five minutes. For scheduling, Vantage Point evaluates scenarios involving start and stop times, breaks, and lunches using a Sum of Squares algorithm across staffing intervals. Pipkins says the product provides more than 100 comparison statistics, change-management tools, and real-time agent metrics. The WebAccess module lets smartphone and tablet users view agent status, adjust schedules, send messages and notifications, and view reports in a browser. SwiftPik is available for iOS, while Pipkins says its Android version is coming soon. Integrations include ACDs, email-response systems, multimedia queuing devices, and third-party SQL reporting packages. Pricing is available on request.
