More than just scheduling, Rotageek offers a solution that optimises your workforce management in your retail business.
Improve the everyday with a cloud-based scheduling platform that outshines and outsmarts paper-based systems. Built with ease-of-use in mind, create optimised retail staff schedules that are fair, compliant and reflect pre-defined shifts and shift patterns. Completely flexible and updated in real-time, requests and shift swaps are actioned at the touch of a button from a smartphone, tablet or desktop.
In just thirty seconds, our autoscheduling tool can generate millions of combinations of retail schedules, proposing a final solution that ticks all the boxes. Maximise budgets and customer service by targeting skill coverage and preferences whilst meeting legal and internal compliance. Fill all shifts months in advance without spending hours (or days) on admin and data entry.
With Rotageek’s forecasting solution, AI and algorithms do the hard work for you. Align labour to demand and achieve operational intelligence through machine learning, by predicting footfall, peaks and lulls based on your own real data. Create even smarter schedules and improve labour to demand alignment by up to 25% compared to traditional methods. The result? Increased basket size and increased revenue.
