MetricNet Launches Groundbreaking On-Demand Benchmarks for Service Desks and Contact Centers

Building on more than 30 years of expertise and benchmarking data, MetricNet, LLC has launched two new on-demand benchmarks – one for Service Desks and one for Contact Centers. These Excel-based tools are customized for organizations looking to achieve and sustain World-Class performance in their service and support operations. These benchmarks offer a number of unique features including:

• Industry Benchmarking Data: Conduct an in-depth comparative analysis, benchmarking your performance against a comprehensive peer group of US service desks/contact centers. The benchmarks include six KPIs consolidated into a Balanced Score, providing a holistic view of your performance versus the peer group.
• User-Centric and Intuitive Design: Experience effortless data input, immediate insights, and an optimized user experience via Microsoft’s desktop Excel app. Populate the benchmark with your performance data for each KPI and update your benchmark as often as desired.
• Streamlined Data Entry: Enter your raw data for headcount and compensation, and the tool automatically handles the cost calculations. Quality inputs include two critical quality metrics: Customer Satisfaction and First Contact Resolution Rate.
• Enhanced Data Interpretation with Visual Alerts and Icons: Stay informed with visual cues highlighting any inconsistent data entries and ensure data reliability with alerts for unusually high or low numbers.
• Expert Insights: Benefit from MetricNet’s customized recommendations, built on over three decades of industry experience, to enhance and optimize your service and support performance.
