What is
a
Helpdesk Call Analysis Report
? Call analytics reports are considered operational analysis tools and are often used by helpdesk managers and COOs to determine phone support quantity and efficiency. Some of the key functionality in this type of report is that it compares incoming calls with abandoned calls, real calls and spam calls. In the rows, the report groups company/helpdesk by region which provides useful benchmarking analysis. The pie charts on the top of the report helps with the quantitative and qualititative call comparisons. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Helpdesk Call Analysis Reports Companies use Helpdesk Call Analysis Reports to make it easy for managers to quickly compare call statistics across helpdesk locations and by call type. When used as part of good business practices in a support department, a company can improve its helpdesk staff planning and use of technology to optimize the support operations as well as reduce the chances that helpdesk managers lose sight of the big picture related to call statistics and therefore make slower- or sub-optimal decisions.
