Align your staffing with customer footfall and boost sales
The perfect match between footfall and staffing
In retail and supermarkets, having the right number of sales associates and cashiers at the right time is crucial for revenue. Our algorithm analyzes your footfall forecasts to determine hourly staffing needs. Say goodbye to endless queues driving customers away or deserted aisles during peak hours—maximizing every sales opportunity.
Managing multi-skilling and background tasks
Effective retail scheduling intelligently leverages your employees' versatility. The software automatically assigns staff to background tasks (restocking, inventory, Click & Collect preparation, visual merchandising) during off-peak hours. As soon as the store gets busy, the tool reassigns them to checkout support or customer service, thereby optimizing your overall conversion rate.
Fair weekend distribution and special openings
Retail involves non-standard hours, Saturday shifts, and often Sunday or night shifts. To keep your teams motivated and curb turnover (which is very costly in recruitment and training), the tool distributes these days fairly and transparently. It also precisely manages student contracts and part-time workers while respecting their availability constraints (classes, exams).
Benefits for your store
- Revenue growth: Never miss a sale due to a lack of available staff.
- Payroll cost control: Avoid costly overstaffing during off-peak periods.
- Legal compliance: Strict adherence to rest periods and maximum shift lengths.
- Proactive planning: Easily manage peak periods (Sales, Black Friday, Holiday season).
