Stromberg Enterprise For Retail is a complete workforce management solution for retail organizations. It is comprised of: Labor Scheduling, Forecasting and Budgeting. These modules integrate with Stromberg’s Enterprise Time and Attendance system allowing retailers to dynamically manage employees for least cost and maximum productivity.

Labor Scheduling Module

Stromberg Labor Scheduling applies employee skill levels and availability against set standards. This allows the system to generate schedules that consider your location’s full range of requirements while conforming to corporate, union, and government requirements. Schedules are available up to five weeks in advance to assist managers in "what-if" analysis.

Labor Forecasting Module

Stromberg Labor Forecasting estimates an unlimited number of user-defined drivers such as anticipated daily customers, items, and sales in 15-minute increments. This flexibility allows management to apply an unprecedented level of service to all areas where standards allow for work loading. Each department can track requirements by defining an unlimited quantity of forecast drivers to achieve an extremely precise requirements balance specifically for that department.

The forecast model automatically adjusts for seasonal, holiday, and recurring patterns. It also provides for memo attachment to any day indicating a special event of any type that could affect the sales/traffic: remodeling, special sale, or weather event.

Labor Budgeting Module

Stromberg Labor Budgeting gives management an exciting and creative tool to review and analyze projected vs. actual labor expenses across the company. This module allows the comparison of scheduled labor costs with corporate goals before, during, and after each pay period. During a pay period, managers can monitor real vs. budgeted labor costs. This enables management to react to changing conditions and make any workforce adjustments necessary to keep corporate goals on track.
