Logile officially announced their All Mobile focus for 2018 at their annual users’ conference and retail workforce management summit, Simplify, last fall, and have been working feverishly in the subsequent months to bring this vision to life.
The objective of All Mobile is to empower retailers to perform every aspect of workforce management from mobile devices directly from the salesfloor. Logile has achieved this through launching two native apps on iOS and Android, Logile Connect™ and Logile Labor Wizard™. Included in this All Mobile focus is a newly designed Dashboard, delivering real-time performance, notification and strategy. The technology also looks to the future, leveraging artificial intelligence and Logile’s industry-leading workforce management software to develop the world’s first virtual assistant for retailers dedicated to real-time workforce management.
Logile Connect allows retail managers and associates alike to leverage their mobile devices to interact with their labor schedules in unprecedented fashion. Retail managers can view and make edits to labor schedules, review and make decisions on request, and a lot more. Furthermore, the impact of these changes can be determined, and that insight is presented to the manager before making the change official, empowering managers to make the best possible decisions for their associates and the business alike. From associates’ perspective, the app allows them to view their labor schedules as soon as they are posted, make requests for changes to their availability and role and interact with other associates to potentially swap shifts.
Logile Labor Wizard ensures that those in retail operations aren’t left out in leveraging their mobile technology either. The app enables those managing engineered labor standards programs an entire suite of functionality designed to allow them to update and manage their labor data directly from the store floor in real time. This is accomplished by allowing them to update store-specific attributes, view labor standards, method and time validate labor standards, build new labor standards, update process mapping for items, and design and conduct nearly any study related to retail data collection (e.g., time study, queuing study, customer journey, etc.).
Logile’s newly designed mobile Dashboard allows retailers to view real-time KPI information, which is not limited to just data directly from the Logile system. The Dashboard also shows high-level, graphical information on forecasts, scheduling, time and attendance, task management and labor modeling, allowing users to quickly address items requiring their attention as well as drill down into lower-level information directly on the Dashboard.
And in an early push to further move up the RIS Leaderboard Top 20 in 2018, Logile is introducing a workforce management virtual assistant technology called Lychee™. This two-way communication technology allows retail managers and associates to interact with workforce management in an unprecedented way. The tool allows managers to receive and request information and advice on workforce management scenarios. For example, it will be able to deliver proactive recommendations to managers in real time on execution strategy based on how reality is differing from the plan. Managers will also be able to request information on performance against plan, as well as options to address unforeseen execution events. Associates will also be able to request information, recommendations and provide feedback, again all through voice-activation. Finally, the virtual assistant will provide management guidance unprompted, even if the workforce management system is not open on the users’ devices.
