Better decisions start with insight you can explain. WFM Keystone combines operational experience with KNITS intelligence to help teams forecast intelligently, plan capacity and act with confidence.
HUMAN × TECHNOLOGY
Follow a change in market demand through four linked decisions: investigate the signal, choose a forecast, plan productive capacity and agree the action.
AI TOUCH / DECISION JOURNEY
01 / RECOGNISE THE SIGNAL
Imagine a holiday shifting the pattern of calls between weeks. The right first step is to understand what changed, rather than hire to the unadjusted average.
A holiday-related movement in demand is detected. The team should examine which weeks and business lines are affected before changing the plan.
Explore the interactive report studio →Our intelligence capabilities solve different operational problems. Choose one to see its role and governance.
Evaluates forecasting methods and parameter combinations using historical performance, seasonality, market impact, bias and other validation measures before recommending an appropriate method.
Choose a reporting perspective, change the time horizon and explore how demand, staffing and hiring signals shape the next decision.
Changes in demand may be outpacing planned productive capacity in later weeks.
Review recruitment, training and STC assumptions before deciding whether the staffing plan requires action.
WFM Keystone is an operations efficiency advisory business, focused on workforce management for contact centres and service organisations. We help leaders make better staffing decisions by combining domain expertise, disciplined planning and the right technology.
Our approach is hands-on: understand the operating model, identify where demand and capacity are misaligned, build practical plans and support the decisions that affect service and profitability.
Build a future where service organisations can connect people, demand and commercial performance through informed, accountable workforce planning.
Combine deep WFM expertise with KNITS so clients can plan staffing with clarity, improve delivery discipline and protect operating margins—while retaining control of their data and decisions.
Forecast demand shifts. Staffing decisions arrive late. Finance sees the consequence. The opportunity is to connect the decisions—not just the reports.
Seasonality, promotions, holidays and market events create workload that cannot be managed with a static assumption.
Training lead times, shrinkage, attrition and productivity ramps change when staffing actually becomes available.
Idle labour, overtime and missed coverage create commercial friction and avoidable management surprises.
Choose an operational challenge and explore how its demand pattern, planning trade-offs and next review change together.
Compare the unadjusted and event-aware patterns before deciding which future weeks need review.
KNITS brings workforce planning functions into one connected operating model, preserving the business line, site, contract and time-period context behind each decision.
Finance modelling is a planned capability. Scheduling recommendations depend on the available KNITS deployment.
Not another fixed planning template. KNITS supports expert customization of the Long Range plan and the executive dashboard, while preserving governed data connections.
Switch between planning templates to explore how structures, child rows and calculations can adapt to different client operations.
Change the visualization to explore how one management question can be presented as a trend, a distribution or an executive metric card.
KINT is the read-only conversational intelligence companion to KNITS. It is designed to explain what operational data shows, investigate changes and answer authorised workforce-planning questions in plain language—without modifying source records.
Investigate the relevant account, LOB, site, period and available measures; clarify when data or scope is missing.
Explain changes in demand, staffing, shrinkage, hiring readiness, holidays and relevant approved planning records.
Resolve account, business line, site or geography, time period and measure before comparing or aggregating figures.
Uses authorised KNITS data and permissions. It cannot amend forecasts, capacity plans, locks, recruitment, settings or employee information.
Requests clarification or reports unavailable data rather than inventing values or pretending a source exists.
KNITS administration provides a governed environment for planning configurations, client-specific structures and appropriate access boundaries.
Manage the authorized process for reviewing and applying client-specific planning changes.
Explore the design studio ↗Organize accounts, lines of business, sites and approved workforce-planning assumptions.
Explore KNITS ↗Keep planning data access aligned to authorized roles and client-defined sharing scope.
HRIS & data options ↗Connect an authorized HRIS source when available—or provide approved weekly files. Both methods support a consistent workforce planning picture without forcing clients to surrender control of their data.
Available measures depend on actual source fields and historical coverage; KNITS should not infer promotion, suspension or departure reasons from missing data.
Where HRIS connectivity is authorized, align a secure integration around the client's selected workforce fields and timing.
Different industries create different demand shifts, staffing constraints and delivery requirements. Select an industry to see the challenge, then the planning response.
Connect contact demand, forecast volume, hiring lead times, shrinkage and productivity to service and cost decisions across multiple LOBs and sites.
One clear view of how the six workforce disciplines connect—from demand planning to commercial decisions.
Operational AI evaluates MA, WMA, SES, Holt, Holt-Winters and ARIMA combinations using backtests, bias and error measures. Holiday intelligence, normalization, market impact, demand profiles and read-only outliers inform 13-month forecasts. Final selection remains with the planner.
Try a demand scenario ↗Latest LR plans weekly staffing by LOB and site, with Erlang staffing methodology, required and available FTE, shrinkage, attrition and Speed to Competency (STC). Recruitment, training, Soft Go Live and purple AI Assist support controlled hiring recommendations.
Explore planning design ↗Connect demand and available staff to interval coverage. AI-enabled recommendations can suggest schedule adjustments where that functionality is deployed; feature availability varies by deployment.
Review a coverage scenario ↗Compare authorized demand, capacity, workforce and recruitment indicators by account, business line, site and time period. Build tailored executive views with Dashboard Designer.
Explore interactive reports ↗Link workforce assumptions to revenue support, direct delivery costs (COGS), gross margin, EBITDA and net profit projections. This financial modeling is planned scope, not presented as a live module.
Discuss finance roadmap ↗Use an approved HRIS connection or client-managed weekly roster feeds. Clients choose what data to share and who may access it; available headcount, movement, hiring and attrition measures depend on the supplied records.
See HRIS connection choices ↗KNITS is the planning platform. WFM Keystone provides the operating expertise to diagnose, deploy and govern the improvement.
Technology creates visibility; operational expertise turns it into a workforce decision the business can actually execute.
Discuss a KNITS pilot ↗Clear answers about implementation, data ownership and what KNITS is designed to support.
Talk to us about forecasting, capacity, recruitment, custom planning models, dashboard design or a scoped KNITS pilot. We will begin with the operating challenge.
