Call volume forecasting at Proximus

How a disrupted call pattern now predicts call volumes

An excellent example of how technology can improve customer service is our successful partnership with Proximus.

Due to contingencies such as COVID-19, floods in the summer of 2021 and the energy crisis in 2022, the usual telephone pattern at Proximus was severely disrupted. This made it increasingly difficult to forecast future call volumes accurately. Together with Möbius, Proximus conducted an objective analysis of the existing forecasting process and the statistical model used to detect future improvement opportunities.

Together with Kris Adriaenssens and Piotr Fierens of Proximus, colleague and CX expert Sofie De Coninck gave an interactive presentation on this project. During the presentation, attendees got an in-depth insight into the various and innovative techniques that were applied, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
