Frequently asked questions
- What is call centre rota software?
Call centre employee rota software typically involves the creation of a weekly rota that allocates shifts to employees on a daily basis. A rota is typically performed by a manager or supervisor. Once the rota is created, employees are notified of their upcoming shifts. Shifts are often moved or swapped between different employees and leave / availability needs to be taken into account when creating a rota. A well-functioning employee rota program will increase visibility and control for managers and give employees a clear indication of what’s expected of them in terms of upcoming shifts and duties.
A call centre might use spreadsheet software, paper based rosters, or a computer program to manage the rota of its workforce. In an effort to streamline the workforce management function, many call centres are now adopting cloud-based rota and workforce management platforms to streamline processes in these areas. Such platforms might include staff rotas, time and attendance, tasking, communication and employee feedback tools.

- How to staff a call centre?
If you’re thinking about how best to staff your call centre, good planning is all about the numbers. This is easier for established operations. Look at how many calls you get from each customer, on average, per month. Then work out what time of day they call, and how long issues typically take to resolve. It’s trickier for newer call centres since you don’t have that data.
But by forecasting sales, you can make an informed estimate of how many employees you’ll need, and when. You can then use call centre scheduling software to plan shifts so you have the right number of employees each day, in line with predicted demand. That way, you can offer your customers the best service, without undue waiting times.
- Who can use call centre scheduling software?
Call centre software in the UK is mainly used by managers, business owners and HR departments and any organisation that has a customer care department. They use call centre staffing software to allocate shifts, give people tasks, track time and attendance, and communicate with their teams.
They may also connect it to their payroll technology to ensure workers get paid for the right amount of time (including overtime). Call centre employees can use the technology too – for things like swapping shifts, submitting holiday requests, communicating with their colleagues and clocking in and out.
