Labor Scheduling

While you could choose to install a thoroughly comprehensive labor scheduling application, with advanced optimization engines, real time schedule adjustment, and skill/task/volume match characteristics, (and spend a significant amount of time installing it, and an even more significant amount of time maintaining a myriad of rules and parameters, and devote significant resources to training) we believe that your store managers would rather just use our simple and to the point scheduling module.   With a few clicks of a mouse your store manager can:

• Set Store (or department) open times
• Set Employee preferred or blocked work times
• Copy a prior schedule as the basis for an upcoming work week.
• Drag and drop employees onto the "schedule wall" and immediately determine schedule time/available conflicts.
• Review and amend the schedule relative to planned or recurring tasks.
• Review and amend the schedule relative to historical sales or sales  goals, as well as planned wage expenses or hour budgets.
• Test the quality of the schedule with our "validate" function that does a rule based schedule QA.

All with one simple interface, minimal training, and minimal implementation time. We do understand that some retailers may have to deal with a myriad of labor laws, union rules, or have extraordinary scheduling complexities to deal with.  We believe that the vast majority of Retailers will be more than satisfied with Planning Prophet’s simple to use, and highly functional labor scheduling module, and be even more pleased with our total cost of ownership and fast implementation time.
