Labor is your largest controllable expense.

You can't control how many customers walk through the door, but you can decide
how many staff you schedule. That's why we built our scheduling to prevent
unnecessary overtime, cut hidden overstaffing, and lower your labor costs.

Quickly build & publish schedules

  • Use drag-and-drop functionality and templates to build schedules in minutes. Immediately alert staff via push notifications when schedules go live, keeping everyone in the loop and saving hours of your managers’ time every week.

Know exactly how many staff you really need

  • Forecast your scheduling needs without the guesswork using foot traffic, weather, and historical sales data. The more data you incorporate, the more accurate your schedules get – meaning less unnecessary overtime, fewer understaffed shifts, and zero unhappy customers.

Complete oversight for operational consistency

  • Staffing ratios, staffing dashboards, and labor reports give you visibility into how well your managers follow operational procedures, ensuring every team and location consistently hits its performance goals.

Stop being short staffed

  • Reduce the likelihood of call-outs by scheduling shifts to employee availability. When call-outs or no-shows do happen, let staff find their own replacements with Shift Bidding; this way, you avoid being short-staffed during busy shifts and reduce overtime costs from staff staying late.

Automatic schedule compliance

  • Follow all city, state, and federal labor laws to avoid potential fines and class action lawsuits. Enforce advance notice of schedules, maximum work hours, and minimum time between shifts when you schedule employees.

How does Workforce.com scheduling software reduce labor costs?

In so many ways. Here are a few: You can see wage costs in real-time and adjust staffing levels as needed. You can also stay on budget by viewing wage costs per team, per week, or per location. Moreover, demand-based scheduling helps you appropriately match scheduled labor to forecasted sales to ensure you are never over or understaffed. Finally, it helps you choose best-fit employees for shifts based on their hourly rates, qualifications, and overtime risk.

Where does Workforce.com get its demand data to use in staffing forecasts?

To see sales data on your schedule, Workforce.com integrates with your Point-of-Sale (POS) system. After importing all your sales data, our machine learning algorithm uses it to generate demand predictions up to four weeks out.

What size businesses use Workforce.com?

While small businesses and large enterprises use Workforce.com, our platform best suits shift-based organizations with 20-3,000 staff, primarily in retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Organizations with a large number of employees typically use Workforce.com’s all-in-one HCM package, as it gives managers more control over and deeper insight into their workforce management operations.

How many employees can you schedule with Workforce.com?

I use Excel to schedule my staff. Is an online scheduler like Workforce.com necessary?

Absolutely. Even if you don’t use all of the scheduling features and shift management tools available to you, simply building schedules from scratch takes much less time than in Excel – in some cases, 80% less time. If user-friendly, fast, and easily distributable scheduling is important to you, you’ll want to ditch spreadsheets in no time.

Does this sync with time-tracking tools?

Yes - in fact, it’s the most important integration you can have with a scheduling tool. Workforce.com has time tracking, scheduling and payroll software that all work in unison to perfectly schedule employee shifts and manage wage costs; this is essential for seeing absenteeism in real-time. With time clock data constantly feeding into the scheduling system, managers can actively track employee time from live clock-ins, compare scheduled vs. actual hours worked, and react appropriately to fill vacant shifts.
