Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Facing high turnover and unpredictable footfall, the retailer deployed an AI-powered workforce management (WFM) platform. The system predicts demand at 15-minute intervals and automatically matches shifts to employee skill sets and preferences, allowing staff to 'gig-ify' their schedule by picking up shifts via a mobile app.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Crucial for the post-pandemic labor market. Rigid scheduling causes attrition. By using AI to balance business needs (demand coverage) with employee needs (flexibility), retailers reduce turnover costs and overtime spend."

warning The Challenge

Manual scheduling by store managers is time-consuming and often biased. It fails to account for granular demand spikes (e.g., a delivery arriving), leading to understaffing (lost sales) or overstaffing (wasted wage budget). Employees resented the lack of flexibility.

psychology The Solution

The Legion platform ingests POS data, weather, and local events to forecast labor demand. It allows employees to input availability and claim open shifts. The algorithm optimizes the schedule to minimize compliance risk and overtime while maximizing coverage.
