FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About R&R WFM.
  • What is workforce planning (PEP) in retail?

    In the retail sector, PEP involves scheduling employees' work hours based on the store's expected workload—ensuring there are enough staff members during peak hours and avoiding overstaffing during slower periods.

    This involves not only the actual work schedules, but also revenue optimization, controlling labor costs, and ensuring compliance with collective bargaining agreements and legal requirements.

  • Who is R&R WFM suitable for?

    R&R WFM is suitable for retail companies with multiple locations and fluctuating staffing needs.

    The software is particularly well-suited for organizations where planning is time-consuming but offers little transparency or control over staff deployment and performance. For example:

    • Chain of stores
    • Franchise Organizations
    • Retail companies with many part-time employees
  • How is workforce scheduling implemented?

    The implementation of a workforce scheduling system takes place in several steps. First, an analysis is conducted to determine when the highest workloads occur in the stores. Based on this, clear scheduling rules are defined, and the workforce scheduling software is configured accordingly.

    Next, we ensure that the teams are actively using it. This is the only way to ensure that the planning is truly put to use in day-to-day operations and that its full potential is realized.

  • What sets R&R WFM apart from other systems?

    R&R WFM was developed specifically for the retail industry and adapts seamlessly to day-to-day store operations—such as fluctuating workloads, collective bargaining agreements, and pay premiums.

    You’ll receive not only software, but also support from real retail experts. They’ll help you not only with planning, but also with effectively managing labor costs, productivity, and performance.

  • Is workforce scheduling just a planning tool?

    No. Workforce planning is more than just planning.

    Its purpose is to optimize staff scheduling based on workload and performance. For example, work schedules are designed so that there are not too many staff members during slow periods and not too few during peak times.

    This allows you to actively manage labor costs, productivity, and service at the store.

  • How much does a PEP solution cost?

    The cost of a PEP solution depends on the number of your branches and employees. Typically, a fee is charged per employee per month.

    The greatest benefit comes not from the software itself, but from better planning. Accurate workforce scheduling helps prevent unnecessary labor costs and lost revenue.
