High Turnover
Seasonal fluctuations require highly variable staffing. Holiday shopping seasons, for example, are retail intensive, leading to both voluntary and involuntary turnover.
Retail
Happier teams and better wage control deliver better results for retailers. Need to share staff across sites? Compare rosters between stores? Control wage costs across multiple locations? Manual processes make doing so near-on impossible.
Retail management, reimagined for exceptional customer experiences

Your Solution
Automated Onboarding
Automated onboarding through Humanforce maintains staffing levels, smooths turnover, and creates the early engagement needed to retain top talent.
Your Challenge
Excessive Staff Costs
Even in high-margin retail, labour often accounts for the largest cost line in the business. The higher the volume, the lower the wage cost to sales (WCTS), which makes tracking labour costs per transaction crucial.
Your Solution
Rostering for Sales
Use door count, PoS data, and sales bonus structures to influence rostering. Humanforce’s Sales Budget screen creates efficient, profitable roster templates based on time of year or store footprint.
Your Challenge
Burdensome Payroll
Paying weekly – or even less frequently – places a huge burden on retail managers and payroll processors to check and approve paper timesheets.
Your Solution
Effortless Timesheet Approval
Automatic timesheet approval and Award Interpretation in Humanforce minimises time spent sorting through paperwork, while reducing opportunities for errors or fraud.
Modern solutions make a difference for Retailers
Retail is a complex business. Strict pay regulations in different states across the country contribute to high levels of complexity, while making forecasting and cost controls difficult. Simplify your systems and better serve your customers with Humanforce.
Now we do it all ourselves, so we have complete visibility over our rosters, availability and leave. Wage control used to be nigh on impossible. Now, each store has the information it needs to stay in control of costs, and that of course aids group profit.
Results
- Attribution of labour costs
- Real-time reporting and forecasting
- Biometric authentication for complete visibility
- Payroll processing time saved and errors reduced
- Multiple store rostering, allows for staff to ‘float’ across different stores as required

1. How much time does Rostering & Scheduling for retail take in Humanforce?
Much less than you’d think! Like all things, the amount of time you’ll save transitioning to a system like Humanforce depends what process you’re following at the moment and how many shifts you’re rostering. A totally manual system, for instance, might take days, which Humanforce may be able to cut down to just a few hours.
In most cases, new Humanforce retail customers are able to reduce the time they spend completing their rostering very significantly, regardless of whether they’re transitioning from an older system or from manual processes.
