Rescomms

Helping a workforce management platform scale to larger enterprise customers

Summary

We helped Rescomms, a company specializing in workforce management and scheduling, expand into some new large accounts by implementing a new configurable version of the hour-bank mechanism and improving the system's fault tolerance. The solution allows Rescomms to meet the needs of larger clients and manage a growing customer base.

Challenge

Our client, Rescomms, is a startup challenging legacy solutions, offering flexible, industry-agnostic workforce management and scheduling software.

The platform's speed and intelligent algorithm set it apart in a competitive market: the system calculates in fractions of a second who a task should be offered to, and reaches workers instantly through a mobile app. The platform has already replaced over tens of millions phone calls, text messages, and emails.

Rescomms was expanding into new large accounts whose onboarding required a configurable hour-bank mechanism. The new mechanism had to fit seamlessly together with the platform's other configurable features, to preserve the company's core strength of fast and flexible adaptation to different environments. At the same time, they needed features that would reduce the maintenance burden and support the reliable management of a growing customer base with a small team.

Solution

Rescomms gained a new version of the hour-bank system that preserves configurability, which is one of the company's key competitive advantages.

The improvements in error-state handling and fault tolerance, in turn, make Rescomms's day-to-day work easier: a compact team can manage a larger number of customers than before without the maintenance workload growing at the same rate. As a result, the company's platform meets demand even better and reduces administrative burden, which is one of its core promises to end customers.
