For example, the contact centre experiences 40% more calls when network performance is affected by the temperature falling below 5 degrees. With the weather changing day by day, and hour by hour, the UK Power Networks needed a tool to help them manage their workforce in real-time to meet customer service expectations, while having the infrastructure in place to support their growth plans. About the Customer UK Power Networks own and maintain electricity cables and lines across London, the South East and the East of England. It manages three licensed distribution networks, which together cover an area of 30,000 square kilometres and approximately eight million customers. Their contact centre manages power cuts, new power supplies and maintenance carried out to overhead lines. Their work is heavily governed by the changeable UK weather which can result in an increase in their workforce from 300 agents to over 800 on storm days.
