Workforce Operations Planner™
Align corporate sales and labor planning with store execution
Workforce Operations Planner enables a more accurate and collaborative sales and labor planning process for retail organizations. Creation and management of enterprise sales and labor budgets helps managers align store-level staffing and operational needs with corporate goals for sales and labor 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 labor forecasting engine to coordinate analysis of historical business trends with information related to operational planning, labor productivity, and store execution. This demand-driven approach enables the application to factor in each store's unique profile — including operating hours, labor standards, sales volume, and employee data — to create real-world sales and labor budgets.
