Imagine running a contact center where you can see what’s happening in real time – how many calls are waiting, which agents are topping the leaderboard, and how customer satisfaction is evolving.
Sounds like a dream? It’s actually possible.
Follow along.
Why are dashboards important in contact centers?
Contact centers generate massive amounts of data every day. From the number of answered calls to customer satisfaction and agent performance – there’s a wealth of insights waiting to be uncovered.
But let’s be honest: if you’re only looking at your KPIs in an Excel sheet once a month, you’re acting too late.
Dashboards provide real-time data, allowing you to respond when it truly matters.
Real-time data enables faster decision-making
With a dashboard from IntraManager, you get real-time access to updated KPIs, enabling you to react immediately when response times suddenly increase or customer satisfaction drops.
It’s like having a GPS for your contact center, guiding you in the right direction and alerting you when a detour is needed.
Increased motivation through transparency
When agents can see their own and their team’s KPIs in a dashboard, it fosters a sense of ownership and accountability.
It can also be used to encourage competition and engagement by implementing gamification elements such as leaderboards.
With IntraManager, you can even customize your dashboards with different themes to match your company’s style.
Improved reporting and planning
Imagine being able to predict when your contact center will be busiest and adjusting staffing accordingly.
With a dashboard, you can analyze trends over time, optimize shift scheduling, and ensure you never lack agents during critical periods.

The most important KPIs to track in a contact center
To get the most out of your dashboards, it’s crucial to know which KPIs matter the most.
Here are some of the most valuable KPIs for contact centers:
Average Speed of Answer (ASA)
How quickly are customer calls answered? A low response time is key to a great customer experience.
First Call Resolution (FCR)
How many customer inquiries are resolved on the first contact? A high FCR reduces follow-up calls and increases efficiency.
Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)
How satisfied are customers after their interaction with your contact center? This is typically measured via customer surveys.
Net Promoter Score (NPS)
How likely are customers to recommend your business? A high NPS indicates strong customer loyalty.
Agent Performance Metrics
Calls handled per agent, average handling time (AHT), and resolution rates provide insights into agent efficiency.
Number of Missed Calls
If too many calls go unanswered, it may indicate a need for better staffing or workflow optimization.
