Retailers are challenged by a dynamic and diverse workforce that must be leveraged in order to meet sales targets, profit margins and budget requirements.
However, customer service is paramount to remaining competitive in a industry that caters to the direct consumer,
so staffing levels must be effectively scheduled to accommodate customer traffic.
Further, employees may hold more than one retail position with multiple organizations so
companies must be able to provide the ability for employees to easily request and capture shift changes to
accommodate individual work preferences and to attract and retain talent.
Without an automated workforce management tool, retail managers bear the administrative burden of creating and changing paper-based schedules
rather than spending valuable time on the sales floor.
