Dr. Detwiler to advise on all areas of food safety to support Logile’s evolving innovation to deliver ground-breaking solutions that help retailers effectively protect their customers and brands

DALLAS–(February 14, 2024)–Logile, Inc. today announced that Dr. Darin Detwiler has engaged with Logile to advise on all matters related to food safety in retail. In this capacity, he will provide research, insight and recommendations related to retail food safety, including sanitation, hygiene, temperature control, and legislative requirements such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

“I first became aware of Logile at a recent industry tradeshow where they demonstrated their innovative solution, Thermal Intelligence. It was refreshing to see how this solution provides retailers with a very accurate means of monitoring actual cold and hot holding food temperatures instead of simple asset air discharge temperatures. In addition to providing 24×7 temperature monitoring, their integrated solution includes a user-friendly mobile software app that pushes notification alerts and actionable tasks to retail store employees and designated leaders across the chain if any temperature issues are detected and not resolved,” shared Dr. Darin Detwiler, professor and food safety advocate.

Rick Schlenker, co-founder of Logile said, “It is a real pleasure to team up with one of the most respected and trusted food safety leaders in the industry. Our retail customers will benefit from Dr. Detwiler’s knowledge and recommendations as they guide our thermal intelligence food safety compliance solutions. Logile’s advanced food safety execution and compliance tools will allow retailers to improve dramatically and ultimately their customers and all consumers will benefit.”

Logile Thermal Intelligence^TM automates food temperature taking and recording with wireless temperature sensors encapsulated in a thermal engineered fluid that imitates actual food temperatures and records them every 10 minutes, for both cold and hot foods. Logile offers a comprehensive food safety management solution platform that supports the implementation and execution of the retailer’s food safety program to improve food safety, compliance, temperature reporting and accuracy, and energy and asset usage/cost.

BGC replaced legacy WFM solution with Logile to improve flexibility, the associate experience and operational effectiveness 

DALLAS–(January 14, 2024)–Logile, Inc. today announced that Brookshire Grocery Company has completed implementation of Logile’s comprehensive retail labor planning and workforce management (WFM) solutions at its 209 retail locations across five banners operating in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in addition to corporate offices. Distribution centers and warehouses are currently being implemented. Store execution management will commence as the final implementation phase.

Facing end-of-life concerns on its legacy WFM solution and a desire to improve flexibility, the partner (associate) experience and operational effectiveness, BGC selected Logile’s solutions to replace the company’s existing system after a competitive evaluation. BGC signed with Logile for solutions spanning labor standards and modeling, forecasting, staff planning, budgeting, employee scheduling, mobile employee self-service, time and attendance, and store and task execution management.

Logile worked with BGC to create labor standards and rolled out an earned hours program, which determines the labor hours needed for store operations based on the volume and mix of items sold as well as specific store attributes, to store front-end departments. Wall-to-wall automated scheduling for the front-end department has been rolled out and the remaining store departments will roll out over the next few months.

“Logile’s retail expertise, innovation, system flexibility and ease of use were differentiators during the selection process. We were confident that Logile’s solution could support the accurate earned hours model we required, which it delivers via accurate forecasting, staffing and scheduling based on their labor model. We wanted a supportive partner for the long haul to evolve our store technology to help reach our near and long-term strategic growth objectives,” said Shawn Sedate, EVP and Chief Information Officer at BGC. “The Logile platform will position us to deliver on our partner (associate) experience, operational and customer goals while gaining visibility and a data-driven understanding into what it takes to efficiently run operations in each department.”

“We are honored to earn BGC’s trust and confidence in selecting Logile as its partner to achieve transformational store planning, WFM and execution management,” said Purna Mishra, Logile Founder and CEO. “Recognizing the powerful operational benefits of an earned hours approach and implementing a technology platform to empower, engage and connect their workforce to the work requirements are testaments to BGC’s thought-leading strategic vision. We look forward to supporting BGC on its growth journey and ultimate mission to provide superior shopping experiences to their customers.”

Midwestern grocery retailer replaces existing temperature monitoring system with Logile’s unique, thermal engineered fluid-based, automated wireless temperature sensors for increased accuracy and compliance

DALLAS–(January 12, 2024)–Logile, Inc. today announced that Midwestern grocery retailer Coborn’s, Inc. has completed rollout of Logile’s new Thermal Intelligence™ solution to all banners, including Coborn’s, Cash Wise Foods, Marketplace Foods, Hornbacher’s, Tadych’s Marketplace Foods and Sullivan’s Foods, in all locations across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan. A Logile customer since 2012 using Logile’s enterprise labor planning and forecasting solutions, Coborn’s selection of Thermal Intelligence expands its Logile product footprint and partnership investment.

Coborn’s wanted to improve its food safety capabilities and address existing temperature monitoring system limitations and challenges, including air-based temperature monitoring, cold food-only monitoring and frequent false alarms. Coborn’s worked closely with Logile to finetune its new Thermal Intelligence solution design to work across all Coborn’s environments including cold food, hot food, pharmacies, and car washes.

Unparalleled in the retail industry, Logile Thermal Intelligence automates temperature taking and recording with wireless temperature sensors encapsulated in a thermal engineered fluid that imitates actual food temperatures and records them every 10 minutes, for both cold and hot foods. Unlike standard systems that only measure ambient air temperatures, Logile Thermal Intelligence uniquely monitors actual food temperatures 24/7 and alerts store personnel to any excursions (deviation from proper holding temperature) or items requiring attention. The solution escalates notification up the chain if follow-up tasks are not completed to ensure food safety issues are addressed with corrective action. Eliminating consistent overheating and over-chilling additionally reduces energy costs and asset wear and tear.

Logile’s complete platform solution minimizes capital investment with a package that is inclusive of all hardware, software, maintenance, support, warranty and training for an annual subscription fee.

“We have improved productivity and gained approximately two hours a day in redirection of labor by eliminating the manual temperature taking and recording process with Logile Thermal Intelligence. We can now accurately monitor and manage hot food temperatures in addition to cold foods, and can reliably keep our holding cases at the optimal temperatures for both food safety and food quality,” said Kim Kockler, Director of Food Safety at Coborn’s. “By avoiding overheating our hot cases and holding both hot and cold cases at the right temperatures, we have less spoilage, reduced shrink and improved products to offer our customers. We now have the confidence that temperatures are always monitored with Logile’s 24/7 solution and that we are accurately measuring actual food temperatures and not just air discharge temperature. We also anticipate reducing energy consumption and lowering our energy costs as approximately every one degree off the correct temperature costs us 3 to 4.5% additional energy usage, which adds up across the enterprise. Logile has been a great partner and gone above and beyond to meet our unique requirements.”

“Coborn’s is a true pioneer having advanced food safety to a level unmatched in the retail industry. We value our collaborative partnership, and the company is a testament to what is possible with a committed customer-first philosophy and innovative mindset,” said Rick Schlenker, Logile Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of Strategic Sales. “Coborn’s customer focus and continuous improvement goals helped us refine our Thermal Intelligence solution to not only meet their needs, but to also provide a breakthrough solution for all retailers to improve food safety, compliance, temperature reporting and accuracy, and effectively protect their brands and customers.”

Learn more about Coborn’s experience with Thermal Intelligence at NRF 2024, Retail’s Big Show, in Logile’s live session titled Thermal intelligence – Advancing food safety and profitability for retailers on Sunday, January 14 at 11:00-11:30am, with Coborn’s Christopher Schlichting, Director of Continuous Improvement as a featured panelist.

Fully automated program includes an 8-week daily forecast for up to 100 locations and 10 drivers

DALLAS–(March 28, 2023)–Logile, Inc., the leading retail labor planning, workforce management, inventory management and store execution provider, today announced the availability of its new complimentary Forecasting Pilot program available to all retailers. Retailers can sign up and use the industry’s most powerful, accurate AI and ML-driven metric forecasting through a fully automated self-serve platform.

Attaining the best possible forecasting accuracy is critical to retail decision making and operational efficiency in today’s uncertain and ever-changing environment. Designed to provide an easy, fast and low-risk way to sample the power of Logile’s forecasting platform, pilot participants can opt for 8 weeks of daily forecasts for up to 100 locations and 10 metrics. Results will be published to the participants within 7 days after submitting their parameters and historical data.

In past competitive evaluations, Logile’s forecasting has outperformed all our competition. Using the latest artificial intelligence and machine learning-based algorithms, Logile generates forecasts at each individual metric level averaging above 97+ percent daily accuracy—the best in industry. The potential benefits are compelling: For WFM, every 1 percent improved accuracy can yield up to 50 percent reduction in overtime, half a percent decreased labor costs, 6 percent improved conversion and 12 percent improved customer satisfaction. For Ordering, an accurate forecast leads to stock on shelf at the right time while avoiding either unnecessary over-stocking, or even worse, an out-of-stock situation.

Highlights of our platform:

• Completely integrated with weather and climatology to provide the best opportunity to support seasonality and weather-bound shopping behavior
• Full Forecasting solution drills down to the SKU and UPC level with forecasting support at sub-category, category and volume group level
• Continuous reforecasting and self-learning that keeps improving over time translate into forecast accuracy improvements of 15-20 percent for the average business
• Provides further deep-down understanding at each individual layer and what that layer contributes to the forecast (e.g., weather, promotion, special events, holidays, day of the week, etc.)

“Now more than ever, the ability to accurately forecast demand and labor requirements is critical to retailers’ success navigating economic and market volatility, controlling labor costs and preserving service levels. We welcome you to experience the accuracy with your own data—and with complete privacy, access control and security—the power of the Logile Forecasting Platform as the most accurate and intelligent forecasting platform available today in the industry. We are excited to provide this complimentary Forecasting Pilot program with no obligation,” said Purna Mishra, Logile Founder and CEO. “We are confident retailers will be intrigued and delighted when they compare our automated forecast results with their actuals and legacy forecasts. Our mission is to help retailers thrive with the best available tools, and this pilot should provide a window into what’s possible. Our enterprise forecasting solution introduces many additional features that bring even more precision to the game.”

Schnuck Markets, Inc.

Tom Henry, Chief Data and Deputy Chief Information Officer:
“I think one of the main differentiators that Logile has versus its competitors is its multipurpose demand forecasting capability. It’s using artificial intelligence and a unique set of features. Whereas, a lot of people will look at transaction logs, Logile is pulling in weather data, price changes—a number of things—to create an actual demand of the customer for each store. And then we source labor to that demand. The multipurpose demand forecast allows you to forecast your labor but also optimize the tasks that they perform. So the customer is getting what they need—the best experience. The tasks within our stores are being completed, and the teammate is as productive as they can be.”

Kim Anderson, VP of Store Operations Support:
“We did the RFP with several providers and workforce management solutions and ended up choosing Logile because of their strong sales forecast. The benefits that we’ve gotten during implementation, and now what we’re getting with the scheduling, have been tremendous. The forecasting is solid, and it goes down to the UPC map, to the item level and the department level. The forecasting that we get and the schedule that it outputs makes a huge impact on the business. We have our people there at the right time for the customer.”

Flexible “gig-style” scheduling solution for on-demand shift bidding helps retailers attract and retain associates, expands retailers’ labor resources, and aligns with today’s workers’ desired flexibility and work-life balance expectations

DALLAS–(January 12, 2023)–Logile, Inc., the leading retail labor planning, workforce management, inventory management and store execution provider, today reaffirmed Flexible Scheduling as a central component of the Connected Worker / Mobile Employee Engagement tenets that are key go-forward cornerstones in Logile’s commitment to modern retail solutions that address today’s challenges. Flexible Scheduling is a mobile solution that enables approved associates to bid on open shifts on demand without committing to a recurring schedule, providing flexible time, department and store options that fit within associates’ availability. The solution has proven effective for working retail operations as demonstrated at Flexible Scheduling collaborative customer, Schnuck Markets, Inc., a leading family-owned Midwestern grocery retailer. Logile continues to plan upcoming enhancements for improved functionality and engagement on this game-changing solution for retailers looking to connect with and retain associates while optimizing labor resources.

Logile first announced the gig-style scheduling and flexible solution concept in April 2022 as a strategic approach to address the change in associate desire for flexible work options stemming from the pandemic and general market and societal shifts. Developed in collaboration with retail leader Schnuck Markets, Inc., the Flexible Scheduling toolkit pilot program “Schnucks Flexforce” launched in select St. Louis area stores in the fall of 2022 and expanded in 2023. The program has garnered industry recognition for Schnucks’ forward-thinking employment strategy powered by Logile. The Flexforce toolkit is generally available (GA) as part of Logile’s Flexible Scheduling portfolio.

Kim Anderson, Vice President of Store Operations Support at Schnuck Markets, Inc., commented, “Logile has been a fantastic partner for us. They worked with us to identify areas of opportunity, and they really stepped in to help us map those out and get them done. Our most recent example was part-time flex workforce, which in the industry most would know as a ‘gig’ workforce. We now have that scheduling capability because of the partnership with Logile.”

Adrian Salazar, Senior Manager, Operational Excellence for Schnucks Works (Schnucks’ scheduling system) at Schnuck Markets, Inc., stated, “We’ve seen really high engagement with our flex scheduling efforts, both with our current in-store teammates and with our department managers and store managers. We’ve also seen excitement from our existing teammates who are signing up for flex shifts, working in stores that are closer to their house, and are picking up more hours when it suits their needs and when it fits their schedule.”

“Today’s retailers are operating with a new set of challenges. In the case of Schnucks, we were eager to collaborate with them as they leveraged this opportunity to innovate while meeting the evolving needs of today’s workforce,” said Purna Mishra, President and CEO at Logile. “We started looking at rideshare and food delivery services that have created new opportunities, allowing people to control both what they do and when they work. Bringing this idea to retail is behind our development of Flexible Scheduling. Collaborating with Schnucks on the software behind the Flexforce gave us the opportunity to build out all the necessary features to address a range of challenges. We could not be prouder to have partnered with such a forward-looking visionary as Schnucks on this transformational solution, and we are impressed with their successful rollout and fantastic results for their business and teammates.”

Logile’s Flexible Scheduling solution has the potential to:

• Promote work-life balance by allowing associates to pick their own shifts while still meeting workload requirements of the store
• Address labor shortages in today’s shift-work landscape
• Support a new type of “flex” associate, who are neither full-time nor part-time, and are not scheduled, but are available to bid on available shifts
• Allow regular and flex associates to pick up rideshare-style shifts on demand to earn additional pay
• Ensure real-time regulatory, union and organizational compliance
• Integrate with time and attendance and attendance control for real-time pay visibility
• Deliver a fully configurable workflow based on business and organizational needs

What’s next for Logile Flexible Scheduling:

• Gamify the scheduling and workforce process to allow associates to earn points and badges
• Utilize points in scheduling and rewards
• Integrate with existing award and recognition software

Logile also placed #8 on the overall Top 20 best retail industry technology providers and is the only dedicated workforce management solution vendor to appear on this coveted list. Additionally, Logile ranked in the top two positions in more than half of the LeaderBoard categories.

Retailers have consecutively voted Logile onto the annual LeaderBoard since 2015. This year marks Logile’s sixth appearance and highest placement on the overall Top 20. Logile’s number-one rankings in customer satisfaction and performance are flanked by other number-one ratings in categories measuring efficient implementation, exceptional support and ease of use that are essential to successful deployment and value delivery. Logile’s #1 rankings include the following categories:

• Customer satisfaction
• Overall performance
• Return on investment (ROI)
• Total cost of operation
• Technology innovation
• Software reliability
• Ease of administration and maintenance
• Quality of support
• Recommendations

“Logile’s consistent placement on the RIS LeaderBoard every year since 2015 and its six-year history on the overall Top 20 provider list—cracking the Top 10 this year—are impressive indications of Logile’s commitment and ability to deliver the solutions and support retailers need for ongoing success in an ever-changing industry,” said Jamie Grill-Goodman, Editor in Chief at RIS News. “Since its first appearance on the LeaderBoard, Logile’s planning, WFM and execution portfolio has grown significantly, now leveraging a unified single store forecast to provide additional solutions for inventory management including perpetual inventory, production planning, fresh item management, recipe management and computer assisted ordering. Logile’s stellar 2023 LeaderBoard ratings signal retailers’ approval of Logile’s ongoing solution investment direction and innovation.”

Tom Herman, Northgate Market Senior Vice President of Strategy and Execution, commented, “I’m not at all surprised that Logile finished so high in the 2023 RIS LeaderBoard retail survey. Our experience with Logile has been phenomenal, quite honestly. If they were number one in customer service, I can see why. I didn’t get a chance to participate in the survey, but I would’ve given them number one as well. I think the big key is their responsiveness. They are a business solutions provider, and I think if you really are a business solutions provider, you really have to be good at customer service. And Logile’s customer service is far and away the best in the industry.”

“We are honored that our customers have once again rated Logile highly across the 2023 RIS LeaderBoard. Their trust and confidence in our partnership is what we strive to maintain each day in our mission to help them achieve their operational objectives and positioning for future success,” said Purna Mishra, Logile Founder and CEO. “Logile reaffirms our commitment to leading the industry with best practices, unwavering customer support and cutting-edge solution development—such as flexible gig-style scheduling and a single unified forecast for managing labor and inventory—that transform how retailers are able to address modern retail challenges.”

Vallarta is the first retailer to roll out Logile’s IMS Suite in combination with its industry-leading Workforce Management Suite. Powered by Logile’s superior forecasting accuracy, the unified IMS & Workforce Management solutions will enable retailers to have a single, comprehensive, end-to-end solution set for store-level planning, scheduling and execution.

One Store. One Forecast. One Labor. One Inventory. One Bold Solution.

DALLAS–(November 29, 2022)–Logile, Inc., the leading retail labor planning, workforce management, inventory management and store execution provider, today announced that Southern California-based retailer Vallarta Supermarkets, a pioneering beta collaboration partner during Logile’s IMS development, signed to roll out the entire Logile Inventory Management Solutions suite across its organization.

Logile IMS is a unique solution suite that delivers a complete fresh and center-store inventory management ecosystem focused on each store. Now for the first time, Logile’s IMS, combined with its highly accurate forecast and Workforce Management solution suites, offers retailers a fully unified solution suite—from item management to forecasting to ordering, to receiving to in-store production to service execution—for both Center Store and Fresh departments on one platform.

Until now, retailers have had to deal with the persistent problems associated with multiple, disconnected business forecasts and various point solutions cobbled together from different providers. Despite many efforts to make it all work, industry out-of-stocks remain high, shrink levels remain unacceptable, service levels and productivity are not optimized, regulatory compliance risks remain high, and profitability remains both constrained and under increasing pressure. Retailers have long been searching for a single, unified solution set that will help boost sales, reduce shrink, optimize productivity and yield improved service levels and earnings.

The official release of IMS marks a major expansion for Logile and solidifies its position as the only company to provide retailers with a comprehensive suite of fully integrated solutions for store-level planning, scheduling and execution. Vallarta already leverages Logile for its workforce management needs, and with Logile’s IMS rollout, achieves One Platform for One Store, One Forecast, One Labor and One Inventory. Vallarta will roll out all 16 modules ranging from Vendor and Item Management, to Order Management, Recipe Management and Production Planning, to Shrink Management, Food Safety and full integration with WFM Labor Scheduling and Task Management.

“Vallarta operates a format that emphasizes ‘Fresh,’ so the ability with Logile IMS to accurately anticipate demand and production capacity while providing fresher products for our customers is an outstanding value proposition” said Steve Netherton, CIO and VP of Continuous Improvement at Vallarta. “We will now be able to leverage Logile’s superior, multi-layered forecasting accuracy across critical parameters like price, promotions, weather, events, holidays, business trends and seasonality. IMS will help us optimize inventory management along with store-level production planning and labor and task management to most efficiently deliver our brand promise.”

“Building upon our long-standing partnership with Vallarta, first in Workforce Management and now with IMS, Logile could not be prouder to collaborate with such a forward-thinking retail leader in bringing this unique and much-needed solution to market,” said Purna Mishra, Logile Founder and CEO. “Logile’s Inventory Management Solution represents the next step in completing our vision to provide retailers with a single-point solution for store planning, scheduling, production and service execution.”

“The current retail environment, including rising wages, hard-to-find employees, and less experienced managers and associates, requires the right tools to fulfill production needs efficiently and attack out-of-stocks, over-production and shrink—which directly erode profit. We are pleased to deliver IMS to cover all aspects of inventory management and honored to work alongside Vallarta as a partner in their continued success,” said Dan Bursik, SVP of Product Management at Logile.
