Why retail teams struggle to stay efficient
When temps and other external staff are managed in silos, it’s hard to see the true cost of your workforce:
- Peaks in demand cause understaffing (poor service) or overstaffing (wasted cost)
- High churn and training expenses drain budgets
- Store managers spend hours manually filling shifts
- Inconsistent staffing quality across locations
