Built by people who ran these platforms.

Phario Systems, LLC makes workforce optimization software for contact centers. The founders spent their careers deploying, supporting and operating the incumbent recording, quality and workforce management suites for Fortune 500 buyers. Phario is what they would have built if they could start over with AI at the center.

Why Phario exists.

Legacy workforce optimization was designed when a human had to listen to every call that got scored and a spreadsheet had to hold every schedule. That is why quality programs sample two calls per agent per month and why forecasts are trusted less than the planner's gut. Phario starts from the other end: every call is transcribed and scored, every schedule is generated by rules you can read, and the AI recommends while people decide. It is built on AWS, sold by the module, and priced for the mid-market centers the incumbents overlook.

Lisa Pleman

Co-Founder, Workforce Management

Lisa brings fifteen years of hands-on workforce management practice in contact centers: forecasting, scheduling, adherence and intraday, and the rules real operations teams live by. She specifies Phario's workforce management module from live working sessions, so the product reflects how planners and supervisors actually work rather than how a vendor imagines they do.
