Planning and Implementation

Control and Efficiency at Every Step 
From forecasting to implementation in a seamless process

They plan based on data and monitor implementation closely. Forecasting, planning, and execution are seamlessly integrated.

All in one process

In practice, forecasting, planning, and implementation often don’t flow seamlessly into one another. Assumptions change, schedules get derailed, and corrections aren’t made until after the fact. When all processes are seamlessly integrated, you work with up-to-date data and stay in control at all times.

From Forecasting to Planning 

Good planning starts with a realistic forecast. You create your plan based on historical and current data and translate this into hours and budget at the store level. You then break down the requirements by department and task so that you can see exactly how much work is needed each day.

This quickly results in a schedule that aligns with the expected workload.

We're currently testing a new feature: R&R AI Auto-schedule. This feature uses AI to help you create a suitable schedule based on forecasts, availability, and preferences. More on this coming soon!

Planning Certainty in Shift Work

By breaking down budgeted hours in detail and combining that information with data on availability and contract types, you can create precise work schedules. At the same time, the schedule must meet the requirements of the retail industry.

R&R WFM therefore automatically takes collective bargaining agreements and legal requirements into account, issues warnings, and helps prevent legal violations during the planning process.

Make adjustments in real time 

With R&R WFM, you can make adjustments based on real-time data—rather than waiting until after the fact.

You get real-time insight into staffing, hours, and labor costs; you can flexibly adjust work schedules; and you allow your employees to swap shifts via an app. Thanks to smart integrations and customizable user permissions, each person sees exactly what’s relevant to them. This helps you maintain control while boosting efficiency and satisfaction.

Keep Track of Work Hours at Any Time 

It’s well known that plans and actual results can differ. That’s why reliable time tracking is crucial. With R&R WFM, employees can easily track their hours using the R&R Job App.

This way, you can see exactly who worked, when, and where.

All hours are recorded directly—including start and end times as well as any deviations.

Hours, surcharges, and compensation are processed and transferred to payroll—ensuring transparent pay stubs, less administrative work, and greater reliability.

The result

Planning and implementation flow seamlessly into one another, ensuring a calm and organized week. You work within a single process, without individual steps or subsequent corrections.

✅ Less time spent on planning and corrections

✅ Control over working hours, costs, and staff scheduling

✅ Staffing tailored to your needs

✅ Faster adjustments without having to replan

From Understanding to Control

Insights are only valuable if they are grounded in practice. KPIs are defined based on role, level, or location, making it immediately clear where adjustments are needed. In this way, insights become an integral part of operations.
