Health Products and Assistive Devices

Problem

When a manager of supplemental benefits providing Over the Counter products and assistive devices wanted to expand its insurance plan partners, a flexible call center was needed to place consumer orders and support members with quarterly fluctuations in call volume. Agents would need to handle large orders while the call center managed and minimized handle times during high volume periods coinciding with benefit deposits.
