St. Mary’s Bank Selects FMSI’s Branch Scheduler to Effectively Manage Staffing Complement to Demand
Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) November 14, 2013 -- Financial Management Solutions, Inc. (FMSI), a provider of business intelligence solutions for banks and credit unions, announced today St. Mary’s Bank (St. Mary’s) has adopted FMSI’s branch scheduler and reporting solution. The $730 million New Hampshire-based financial institution will use the FMSI system to effectively schedule its 9 branch location’s staffing complement to demand, and subsequently improve its service.
"Previously we were not able to harness our branch transaction data, and instead had to rely on best guesses to properly align our staffing levels to demand," says Leo Simard the SVP Director of Business Development and Retail Sales at St. Mary’s. "FMSI helps us improve our branch service by giving us access to our data in a format we can quickly understand, which allows us to properly schedule the right number of staff at the right time."
FMSI’s Teller Management System™ addresses the concerns of today’s financial institutions: keeping down expenses while improving service levels in the branches. Through the collection and then preparation of teller transaction data from an institution’s core system, TMS quickly empowers management teams with easy-to-read and actionable business intelligence.
"In addition, we are particularly interested in having a more systematic approach to handling our staff’s personal scheduling requests," adds Simard. "The manual scheduling process can be stressful when trying to keep track of each employee’s preferences, an issue that is almost completely eliminated with FMSI’s automated branch scheduler."
"Maintaining teller staffing at the ideal level to ensure customer satisfaction can sometimes be a very credit union specific decision," says W. Michael Scott, President/CEO of FMSI. "Without accurate information, most financial institutions are not equipped to make a proper evaluation. With more than 20 years of experience helping banks and credit unions improve the productivity of their staff, our unique solutions for measuring and forecasting transaction volumes regularly reveal areas for better service and increased productivity."
