Retail Payroll Forecast Management​

A retail store’s profitability is closely tied to the sales the store makes and the money it pays to the staff on its payroll.  A store manager is always looking at optimizing the staff that they have working on any particular day, balancing with the need of having certain type of skills on the floor to address customer needs and to closing on-floor sales. Much of this planning is done manually today.​
