Dialpad WFM review
A cloud WFM suite covering forecasting, scheduling, adherence, and intraday control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dialpad WFM is a cloud workforce management product for contact centers and support teams. It forecasts inbound contact volumes, calculates staffing requirements, creates demand-based schedules, and tracks adherence, occupancy, productivity, and utilization. Managers can configure agent availability, skills, contracted hours, activities, and time-off data. Agents can view schedules, submit availability and time-off requests, and access the product on desktop or mobile. It is available as an addition to Dialpad or as a standalone product.
The published purchasing model is contact-sales rather than a listed self-serve subscription. Customers are directed to a Customer Success Manager or account representative for access and plan information. Dialpad WFM connects with contact-center, CRM, and helpdesk platforms including Front, Twilio, Aircall, Intercom, Salesforce, Zendesk, Dixa, Kustomer, and Talkdesk. This integration range supports organizations that need workforce planning alongside existing communication and support systems, while the cloud deployment fits teams that want browser-based access.
Its strongest distinction is the breadth of workforce controls in one product. Forecasting includes contact volume, staffing requirements, and 15-minute intervals; scheduling supports both demand-based generation and skills-based activity assignment. Real-time adherence tracking and intraday schedule and staffing management give managers tools for responding during operating periods, while reporting covers performance and utilization. Timesheet exports, calendar synchronization, and self-service for schedules, availability, and time off extend the workflow to agents. Dialpad WFM suits cloud contact centers that need structured, full-scope WFM; teams seeking only basic shift planning may find its operational coverage broader than necessary.
