From streamlining shift planning to enhancing communication, Workeen AI provides a comprehensive suite of features designed to meet the demands of the retail industry.

Save hours of manual planning with AI-driven scheduling that balances employee skills, availability, and business demands. Whether staffing a busy holiday sale or a weekend rush, our system ensures optimal coverage without overstaffing. Maximize efficiency while meeting customer expectations.

Example
: During Black Friday, a retail store ensures enough staff are assigned to handle checkouts, stock replenishment, and customer queries efficiently.

Respect employee preferences and ensure compliance with labor laws while meeting operational needs. Assign shifts based on individual skills, part-time/full-time status, and personal requests. Keep your workforce satisfied while maintaining productivity and legal compliance.

Example: Schedule senior sales associates to oversee and assist during high-value sales events while ensuring new hires get training shifts during quieter periods.

Design schedules tailored to your retail business, such as extra staffing for sales events or flexible coverage for fluctuating demand. Set constraints to reflect your policies, ensuring schedules align with your specific workflows. Manage unique challenges seamlessly.

Example: A supermarket creates a rule to assign more employees to the fresh produce section on weekends when demand is higher.

Identify and resolve double bookings, understaffing, or other conflicts in real-time. For example, if an employee is assigned overlapping shifts, our system immediately flags it for resolution. Stay ahead of potential issues and maintain smooth operations.

Example: If an employee is accidentally scheduled for overlapping shifts at different store locations, the system immediately flags the conflict, enabling the manager to quickly adjust the roster and ensure all shifts are adequately staffed.

Streamline scheduling with ready-to-use templates for recurring shifts and fair rotations to prevent burnout. For instance, alternate weekend shifts equitably among employees. Save time and foster a sense of fairness among your team.

Example: A shopping mall uses templates to alternate cleaning staff shifts weekly, ensuring fair workload distribution among employees.

Publish rosters with a single click, delivering schedules via email or mobile app notifications. Employees stay informed of their shifts, and any changes are instantly communicated. Minimize confusion and keep everyone on the same page.

Example: An e-commerce warehouse sends updated rosters to packers when order volumes suddenly increase, ensuring smooth operations.

Quickly accommodate last-minute changes such as sick leave or unexpected staff shortages. For example, reassign shifts or update schedules within minutes using our intuitive tools. Maintain flexibility without compromising operations.

Example: A pop-up shop at a seasonal market can reassign shifts easily when an employee calls in sick, keeping the stall fully staffed.

Track key metrics like employee hours, overtime, and peak staffing needs with detailed reports. Personalized dashboards provide actionable insights for better decision-making, such as identifying understaffed time slots. Optimize operations with data-driven strategies.

Example: A department store manager uses a report to identify that employees are frequently working overtime on weekends. Based on this data, they adjust the schedule to include additional weekend staff, reducing overtime costs and ensuring better compliance with labor laws.

Notify employees immediately about schedule changes or urgent updates. For example, alert team members about new store hours or last-minute adjustments. Keep communication clear, timely, and effective.

Example: A specialty electronics store alerts employees about a last-minute promotional event, ensuring they are ready and informed.

Streamline communication by allowing employees to request shift swaps, update availability, or submit time-off requests directly through the app. Managers can respond quickly, reducing delays and miscommunication. Strengthen collaboration and efficiency.

Example: A boutique employee notifies the manager about a last-minute schedule conflict and requests a shift swap, which gets approved and updated in minutes.
