Vonage and Peopleware Optimize Your Greatest Resource: Your Employees

This article was published on October 21, 2025

Contact center managers have long known the perils of lengthy wait times. Then again, boosting staffing levels to serve everyone quickly also increases costs. That’s why a workforce management (WFM) solution is essential, as it helps balance customer experience and cost controls. It puts the right number of agents in the right places at the right times. When considering a WFM solution, think of the impact on your business—lost business if understaffed, the expense of agents sitting idle if overstaffed. Then consider the option from Vonage and Peopleware.
