Dyflexis joins forces with Koninklijke INretail

Scheduling in retail means adapting every day. Late-night shopping, weekends, promotions, vacations and changing availability call for a schedule that works. At the same time, you want to stay in control of contract hours, allowances, youth wages, CAO rules and labor costs. That's why Dyflexis and Koninklijke INretail are joining forces. Together, we help retailers get a grip on their biggest challenges, with workforce management that really fits day-to-day practice on the shop floor. Koninklijke INretail names three challenges retailers face every day. We explain them and show how Dyflexis helps.

Control over labor costs

Jan Meerman, managing director of INretail: "An even higher minimum wage is crushing business owners." For many retailers, the labor cost percentage is only a rough estimate, while wages keep rising.

Dyflexis makes that percentage visible in real time. You see right away where you stand and can adjust in the moment. With forecasting, you turn expected busyness into a schedule that matches actual demand.

"An even higher minimum wage is crushing business owners."

"Almost 60% of retailers struggle to fill their staffing."

Retaining employees

Filling your staffing means adapting, especially on weekends, during sickness, with high turnover and with a workforce made up mostly of part-timers and students.

Dyflexis helps you use your flexible workforce more smartly, the part you control yourself. You take preferred working days and hours into account, so employees have a say in their schedule and stay longer. With talent management, you also see where you can invest in development and growth.

CAO, laws and regulations, and compliance

Holiday allowances, youth wages, minus hours, the rules around overtime: these questions come up every day. Schedules are sometimes changed at the last minute, without rest periods or weekly limits being checked automatically.

Dyflexis knows retail and checks these rules automatically in the schedule itself, from allowances to the 8-out-of-13 rule to the Working Hours Act limit. That way, you schedule compliantly, without hours of research.

"We get the most questions about the 8-out-of-13 rule."
