Bangalore: Zendesk has completed the Tymeshift acquisition, which is an AI-backed modern workforce management (WFM) solution. Built exclusively for Zendesk customers, Tymeshift simplifies the management of complex customer experience (CX) workloads.
“Companies of all sizes benefit from WFM tooling, so Tymeshift was a natural choice when looking to expand our product portfolio. With this Tymeshift acquisition we made adoption seamless and ensured immediate value to Zendesk customers,” said Matt Price, SVP of Zendesk.
“Tymeshift has proven to be a comprehensive and intuitive WFM solution, enabling companies to streamline their scheduling, forecasting, and reporting, ultimately leading to better customer service,” added Price.
Tymeshift is an AI-backed solution built on Zendesk to help organisations track agent activity, productivity, and efficiency in real-time.

Customers can benefit from predictive AI-powered staff forecasting, scheduling, reporting and visibility over team productivity and performance and more.
“Tymeshift allows customers to optimise staffing based on accurate forecasts and data, automate time-consuming chores, collect better insights and make great reports,” said David Birchmier, former Tymeshift CEO, and current Director, WFM Strategy and GTM, Zendesk.
“Having the right people on the right channels, at the right time, all based on real-time data allowed us to provide immediate value to Tymeshift customers, and I’m looking forward to expanding our impact by officially joining Zendesk,” added Birchmier.
