Workforce capacity planning, re-tuned for reality
Plan for the range.
Not a single number.
Traditional WFM forecasts one exact figure for every interval — and reality never cooperates. Foretelian gives you the range of people you'll actually need, then tells you whether your team's own flex can absorb it.
Connect your ACD — Genesys, Amazon Connect or Twilio — or upload a CSV. Assumptions stay visible and overridable, never a black box.
From your own history to a verdict you can defend
Three steps. No false precision, no black box.
-
01
Forecast the range
Monte Carlo over your demand history produces a p10 / p50 / p90 band — the people you'll actually need, not a single decimal.
-
02
Measure your flex
We read how far your team has historically scaled up and down — overtime, VTO, borrowing — to size your real absorption envelope.
-
03
Get the verdict
Resilient, Tight, or Exposed — calibrated against your own data, paired with a word and an icon so it's never colour alone.
Connect your ACD. Adherence on real agent states — not exports.
Foretelian reads agent state straight from your contact-centre platform, so schedule adherence is scored against what actually happened — no manual CSV pulls. Each vendor is a thin adapter on one canonical pipeline, so adding the next is small, not a re-integration.
- Read-only — your credentials stay inside your own tenant.
- Vendor aux & presence codes mapped to your own schedule segments.
- No live access yet? A synthetic feed runs the whole pipeline from your published schedule.
-
Genesys Cloud Live adapter
Agent state & presence via the Platform API.
-
Amazon Connect Live adapter
Agent-event stream from your Connect instance.
-
Twilio Flex Live adapter
Worker activity from TaskRouter.
More on request — NICE CXone, Five9, Cisco Webex and others build on the same canonical pipeline. Ask about your vendor.
Ask in plain English. Get the math back.
The Simulation Advisor runs Monte Carlo and Erlang C on your parameters and shows its working — the table, the assumptions, the trade-off — not just a headline number.

The engine underneath
Simulation, forecasting, and staffing in one place — every assumption on screen, every output traceable.
Visualise workflow capacity in real time
Model multi-queue routing, watch utilisation and bottlenecks, and pressure-test service levels with Monte Carlo before they cost you a breach.
- Multi-queue workflow modelling
- Capacity and utilisation at a glance
- Monte Carlo simulation for risk analysis
Forecasts you can trust
Volume and AHT forecasting with accuracy tracked against actuals — MAPE, seasonality, and the trend, so the number has a paper trail.
Right-size every period
Required versus projected staffing side by side — spot the gap months out and plan hiring with precision, not guesswork.
