Hey Guys There is a product called eWFM. It forecasts, schedules and tracks call centre staff roosters. I would recommend you work out how to integrate with their product as call centres across the world are continually looking at ways they can reduce their costs. A tool that will send notification to their call centre agents would be a great way of reducing the costs of distributing the roosters and ensuring the staff have recieved their roosters.
