How can a company determine its staffing needs? Being short-staffed prevents businesses from growing, while being overstaffed can drive up costs.
For example, a company wants to make sure they have enough employees to optimize the potential for growth. One way they can do so is by looking at their missed call data to identify when they need more people on the phones to ensure that all calls are answered to minimize revenue loss.
Using Nextiva Voice Analytics, companies can retrieve missed call data and view the information in various ways.

The Summary tab displays three charts and a heat map:
- Total Count: Shows the total number of missed calls, inbound and toll-free, within the selected time range. Companies can look at this data to determine whether the number of missed calls is acceptable for their business.
- Count by Day: Provides a detailed look at the missed calls data in increments by day. Businesses can easily see what days need more coverage.
- Hourly Average: Shows an even more granular view of the data by providing the average number of missed calls per hour in a day. This data can help businesses determine their levels of staffing throughout the day.
- Counts by State: Displays a heat map that indicates the number of missed calls by state. For companies that operate in multiple states, this map shows which locations may need more staffing.
