What levers can be used to fight the effects of inflation on store organization and profitability?

Inflation erodes store profitability and requires teams to adjust their work organization:
- taking into account daily variations in volumes and supply uncertainties
- giving priority to value-added tasks
- by assigning these tasks to the right person at the right time.
To achieve this, a workload calculation and management tool is necessary.

Timekeeping in the retail industry: the winning asset to optimise your activities

In the retail industry, proper use of working hours has become essential to provide the best possible service to customers and guarantee the store's profitability. Managing this "good use of working hours" means ensuring that each employee is busy doing the right task, in the right way, at the right time and for the right length of time! This is a vast programme, the starting point of which is to have a repository of time-worth tasks based on in-store operation expertise, know-how and timekeeping techniques!

Drive : comment mieux piloter les équipes de préparation de commandes
Drive-ins: how to manage order preparation teams better?

Drive-ins: how to manage order preparation teams better?

In recent years, the rise of drive-in food retail has been a genuine growth factor for points of sale, but it does not cost them any less! Indeed, the staff costs linked to preparing and delivering orders are high, and there's no way this cost can be billed to the final customer. This is a major blow to profitability!
The answer to this economic model's fragility lies in the ability to synchronise order preparation with the time slots dedicated to making products available to customers (slotting) while respecting the promise to have ordered items delivered on time. To achieve this, it's essential to manage the workload correctly and guarantee an optimal employee occupancy rate. We're talking about task management... the trick is to know how to do it when it comes to drive-in activities!
Timeskipper presents its new feature dedicated to forecasting and prioritising drive-in tasks to manage your point of sale better. Explanations...

How does Timeskipper support retail players in a turnaround situation?

How does Timeskipper support retail players in a turnaround situation?

Business turnaround refers to a set of practices aimed at reversing the trend of a situation that is not going well, with a view to revitalising the business and safeguarding jobs.
Recognised as THE solution for optimising the organisation of work in retail, the TimeSkipper platform is a major asset for supporting restructuring. This is particularly true when the risk of imminent bankruptcy requires an in-depth transformation of the organisation, work methods and consequently the allocation of resources. These situations have been particularly frequent over the last twenty months, with certain brands and formats suffering the full impact of the health crisis.
It is therefore quite natural that companies should turn to Timeskipper when they need to "do things quickly and well" in order to restore the fundamentals of their performance.

In addition, the human environment within the teams is complex. To overcome this multi-faceted problem, three levers must be activated simultaneously in order to find new sources of efficiency. Here are some explanations.
