The Challenge

Labor costs are one of the largest and most variable expenses for businesses

Strategic workforce planning is a challenge for large, distributed organizations. In industries such as hospitality, labor can account for half of all operating expenses. Leaders must balance adequate coverage for peak demand with cost efficiency. Demand is influenced by factors outside your business, including local events, severe weather, or public holidays. Traditional workforce management tools and internal data alone leave you exposed to labor overspend, missed shifts, and customer service risks.

Our Solution

Enable smarter staffing decisions with real-world context

The most effective workforce optimization strategies rely on connecting your planning and forecasting models with real-world signals. By incorporating structured, external data such as local events, severe weather, and community disruptions, you enable your teams and systems to proactively predict demand shifts. This methodology empowers you to schedule based on what actually drives volatility, not just what happened last year. Proactive, context-rich planning leads to better coverage, fewer overtime costs, and greater operational resilience.
