Associate, Real Time Analyst (Mar, 2023
–Jan, 2025) at Amazon-Concentrix Daksh Services India Pvt. Ltd.
The core responsibility involves tracking call volumes, agent availability, queue performance, and overall service levels using detailed Excel-based dashboards. Excel is used extensively to capture real-time data, apply formulas such as VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, and IF statements, and visually highlight performance trends using conditional formatting. This allows for quick identification of any deviation from Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and helps ensure that service levels are maintained throughout the day.
A significant part of the role includes creating and maintaining daily, weekly, and monthly reports that summarize key operational metrics such as Average Handle Time (AHT), occupancy, adherence, and shrinkage. These reports are often automated through Excel macros, pivot tables, and Power Query, ensuring efficiency and accuracy while reducing manual effort. These reports serve as essential performance summaries for management and other stakeholders.
In addition to routine reporting, the RTA is responsible for analyzing historical and real-time data to identify performance patterns, forecast future workloads, and provide actionable insights. Excel tools such as pivot tables, charts, and slicers are used to visualize these trends and communicate findings clearly. This analysis helps in identifying areas for improvement, such as agent productivity or staffing gaps.
The Real-Time Analyst also plays a key role in workforce forecasting and scheduling support. Using Excel-based models, the analyst helps in predicting call volumes, aligning agent schedules, and maintaining adherence to planned shifts. This ensures that resources are optimally utilized, and operational efficiency is maximized.
Ensuring data accuracy and consistency is another crucial part of the job. The RTA must validate data across multiple sources and use Excel’s data validation tools to minimize errors. Reports are often cross-checked to ensure reliability before sharing with stakeholders.
The RTA is also expected to perform root cause analysis on performance deviations. For example, if service levels drop or Average Handle Time increases, the analyst uses Excel-based data breakdowns to determine possible causes, such as agent absenteeism, unexpected call spikes, or system issues.
Moreover, automation plays a key role in enhancing productivity. The analyst may build Excel macros or use Power Query and Power Pivot to automate repetitive reporting tasks, link multiple datasets, and create dynamic dashboards that update automatically. This not only saves time but also enables faster decision-making by providing near real-time insights.
Communication is another vital aspect of the role. The Real-Time Analyst must keep stakeholders informed by sharing Excel reports, dashboards, or summary sheets throughout the day. These updates help operational leaders make timely adjustments to staffing, call routing, or priorities based on the live data.
Finally, the RTA is often required to handle ad-hoc reporting and analysis requests. This involves quickly gathering and interpreting data in Excel to respond to urgent management inquiries, operational escalations, or performance reviews.
