Erlang Tools

Erlang staffing tools for faster operational staffing decisions.

Erlang Tools in WFM Toolkit are designed for the faster side of workforce management work: staffing checks, scenario testing, and repeatable interval analysis before assumptions move into a maintained annual plan. They give planners and operations leaders a direct way to test service level, occupancy, shrinkage, and workload assumptions without rebuilding the problem from scratch every time.

What Teams Use It For

Answer near-term staffing questions before they become full planning work.

This toolset supports the common questions that show up before a planner opens an annual headcount plan. How many agents are required for a given interval? What happens if shrinkage changes? What staffing level is needed for a service level goal? How do results move when patience or occupancy assumptions shift? Erlang Tools are built to answer those questions quickly and clearly.

Interval Staffing Checks

Run Erlang C calculations for offered workload, handle time, service level, patience, and occupancy.

Scenario Testing

Compare staffing outcomes when key assumptions move instead of relying on one fixed point estimate.

File-Driven Analysis

Review multiple intervals together when a planner or analyst needs a repeatable staffing export.

How It Fits

Erlang first, planning second when the question is still forming.

Search visitors often look for an Erlang calculator before they look for planning software. This page exists to match that intent. It explains the staffing tools clearly, then gives teams a path into the actual calculator workspace or onward into Planning Workspace if the work needs to become a maintained plan.
