In a market where competitive advantage depends on a combination of reasonable prices and shopping experience, efficient workforce management affects the retail chain’s performance no less than the cost of procurement.
The need to have the right product, in the right place, at the right time is also true for human resource management: one must ensure that the right person is in the right place at the right time, to enrich the shopping experience and improve customer service.
Synerion solutions for retail chains ensure transparency of working hours and their cost, regardless of whether the employee performs his work in one place or various tasks at different branches.
Synerion’s Retail Scheduler sector enables you to:
Assign workers to shifts within the store’s working hours, ensuring that you have the appropriate hourly staff coverage to meet the needs of each branch, including employee lending between stores, in order to prevent over or under staffing. Staffing needs by revenue per POS / revenue per sq. meter can be obtained from external systems or from an Excel file.
Open shift offerings to some or all department employees using a simple and smart workflow. The manager can select one of the employees who applied for the “open” shift, and upon approval, the employee is assigned to the shift.
Easy identification of gaps between the budget forecast, planned schedules and execution allows you to take corrective action and maintain the budget framework. You can view the budget by hourly and daily cumulative levels in order to avoid any deviations.
The Retail Scheduler uses all Synerion Scheduling infrastructures, including real-time alerts on non-compliance with labor laws, collective agreements and company’s policy.
