Scheduling Software for Supermarkets & Retail
Managing a supermarket or hypermarket requires meticulous organization. Between early morning restocking deliveries, Saturday checkout rush hours, and click-and-collect management, building an error-free schedule is a challenge. Our software automates shift creation for your cashiers and shelf-stackers to ensure smooth store operations.
The perfect match between customer footfall and staffing levels
In retail, having the right number of employees at the right time is crucial for revenue. Our schedule generator analyzes your footfall forecasts to define your staffing needs hour by hour. Say goodbye to endless queues that drive customers away or deserted aisles during off-peak hours.
Real-world use case: Saturday afternoon is peak footfall. The software automatically ensures every checkout is open and enough sales associates are on the floor. When traffic slows late in the day, the AI scales back coverage to prevent unnecessary labor costs, maximizing every sales opportunity.
Skills management and working time optimization
A good schedule makes smart use of your employees' various skills. Our shift scheduling software automatically assigns your staff to secondary tasks (restocking, inventory, order preparation) during off-peak hours. As soon as footfall picks up, the tool reassigns them as backup for checkout or customer service. You optimize working time and boost your sales.
Fair weekend distribution and part-time contracts
Retail often involves shift work, Saturday shifts, and occasionally Sunday or evening openings. To maintain team motivation and reduce employee turnover, our artificial intelligence distributes these challenging shifts fairly. The software also accurately manages part-time contracts and student employees, strictly respecting their availability constraints (class or exam schedules).
Case Study: Store Scheduling with Peak Footfall
The Challenge
We configured a retail business requiring coverage adapted to customer traffic over 14 days. The team consists of 15 staff members: managers, cashiers, advisors, and stock associates. The major challenge was balancing full-time and part-time contracts with strict availability constraints for students and alternating weekends.
Legal Constraints Imposed on the AI
- Ensure a minimum 11-hour rest period between shifts.
- Ensure at least one manager and one sales advisor are present every day.
- Enforce a maximum of two closing shifts per week for each employee.
- Never exceed the weekly contract hours for each employee.
