After every call, a person retypes what was just said.
The customer already answered every question, out loud, on the phone. Then an agent types it all again: the notes, the CRM fields, the forms. Between after-call typing, re-keying, and hunting for information, manual work can swallow half of an agent's day. Half looks like this:
Half of every paid shift spent typing, re-keying, and hunting for information instead of talking to customers.
Half of every agent's work year, gone to the manual work around calls instead of the calls themselves.
of paid time, per agent, per year, at full employer cost (US median customer-service wage, BLS). Multiply by your seats.
The half-day scenario, in three units. The benchmarks underneath: after-call typing alone runs 6–12% of paid hours, information-hunting ~1.8 hrs a day (McKinsey), and in-call re-keying comes on top. The connectivity check measures your floor's real share from your own calls.
