News Facts
-
When it comes to delivering a retail experience that builds brand
loyalty and maximizes operating margins, retailers today need to
manage labor costs to provide customers with the best possible
shopping experience. Addressing this challenge, Workforce Tablet
Analytics provides managers with the metrics, alerts, and guidance
needed to proactively align labor to demand.
-
The native-built tablet solution developed specifically for the Apple (News - Alert)®
iPad® provides on-demand visibility into retail operations
through configurable dashboards. These dashboards highlight key
performance indicators and deliver easy-to-interpret reports that
enable managers to drill down through all levels of the organization,
such as stores within districts or departments within stores.

Designed around the needs of field managers, Workforce Tablet
Analytics enables more efficient collaboration and effective
communication with stores regarding potential workforce issues.
Workforce Tablet Analytics provides actionable intelligence, such as
recommended labor adjustments to help keep labor hours and cost in
line with budget or forecast labor data. This provides the insight
needed to make mid-week course corrections as a way to maintain
productivity, quality, and service levels.

for Retail workforce management suite ensures data consistency across
the organization from a multitude of sources including forecasting,

Supporting Quotes
-
Paul de Freitas, store systems and business development director,
The Container Store
"Workforce Tablet is a powerful
application as it can help managers make changes on the fly from the
floor. The more time managers can spend on the floor as opposed to the
back office is valuable for any retailer. Also, while the solution can
handle a great deal of complexity, the iPad helps to make it an easy
and familiar experience."
-
Liz Moughan, director, retail and hospitality practice group, Kronos
"While
mobility is important across all functions in the retail industry, in
no other role is it more vital than for field management. Constantly
on the road visiting stores and having to sift through immense amounts
of data, field management is often bogged down in the minutia. But
providing them with easy access to actionable information whenever and
wherever they need, you unburden them so they are able to focus on
what matters most - ensuring that each and every store is being
managed in a way that drives customer satisfaction."
