Workforce Operations Planner™

Align corporate sales and labour planning with store execution

Workforce Operations Planner enables a more accurate and collaborative sales and labour planning process for retail organisations. Creation and management of enterprise sales and labour budgets helps managers align store-level staffing and operational needs with corporate goals for sales and labour productivity. Workforce Operations Planner also facilitates the rapid modification of plans and budgets — bi-annually, quarterly or even monthly — in response to changing business conditions.

Streamlined operations planning with a powerful, integrated forecast engine

A core application within the Kronos for Retail suite, Workforce Operations Planner uses a powerful business and labour forecasting engine to coordinate analysis of historical business trends with information related to operational planning, labour productivity, and store execution. This demand-driven approach enables the application to factor in each store's unique profile — including operating hours, labour standards, sales volume, and employee data — to create real-world sales and labour budgets.

With Workforce Operations Planner you can:

Develop and modify plans collaboratively, creating buy-in at all organisational levels
Create reality-based store budgets based on historical trends and store profiles
Align store plans and budgets with organisational sales and productivity goals
Run what-if scenarios by varying labour hours and standards, costs, and pay rates
