Use Case

Cut abandon ratio during the 9–11 AM peak

Spot AR spikes in the hour they happen — not in tomorrow's CDR. Re-route agents while customers are still on hold.

The problem on a real floor

Your AR (Abandon Ratio) spikes from 6% to 26% between 9:15 and 10:45 every weekday. Patients give up and book at the competing clinic. SLA breaches stack up and the SLA-tied client emails on Monday morning. The supervisor only learns this on Tuesday from the CDR export — twenty-four hours after the damage. The fix isn't more agents all day. The fix is seeing the spike in the hour and moving two outbound agents into the inbound queue for 90 minutes.

The workflow

How VoIPSetu fixes it — step by step

Scroll down. Each step lights up as you reach it — the same way the workflow lights up on your floor.

  1. 1

    Pin the Hourly Dashboard on the supervisor screen

    Hourly Dashboard is a 24-row table — Calls, Answered, Abandoned, ASR%, AR%, Avg Wait, Diff vs Previous Hour, Diff vs Same Hour Last Week. It refreshes live. No export, no F5.

  2. 2

    Set threshold colour rules

    Hourly Dashboard → Settings → Threshold Map. AR% yellow at 8, red at 15. Avg Wait yellow at 30s, red at 60s. The supervisor's eye finds red in 2 seconds without reading any number.

  3. 3

    Re-route on the fly from Live Queues Wallboard

    Live Queues Wallboard → right-click an outbound agent → Add to Inbound Queue. Two clicks, 90 seconds, agent now picks up inbound calls. AR drops within 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Lock in the staffing change with Smart Reports

    Smart Reports prompt: 'AR per hour today vs same day last week, line chart'. The chart is the evidence you take to next week's staffing plan — not a feeling, a curve.

  5. 5

    Schedule a 9 AM peak-hour briefing PDF

    Global Settings → Report Scheduler → 08:45 daily. Yesterday's peak-hour AR + today's forecast inbox-ready when the supervisor opens her laptop. Zero MIS time.
