Digital solutions and the development of AI and automation should contribute to greater efficiency. A McKinsey study puts the potential global productivity gains from generative artificial intelligence alone at between 2.6 and 4.4 billion US dollars. The potential of digital tools to increase productivity in the retail sector should not be underestimated: For example, the American fashion company Vera Bradley increased the timely completion of company tasks from 40 to 95 per cent \u2013 with Zebra\u2019s Workcloud Task Management solution, which is designed for efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Relieving the burden on existing employees and increasing their efficiency with digital solutions is currently a key issue in the retail sector, as the shortage of skilled labour is at an all-time high worldwide: in an international comparison, Germany shares second place with Greece and Israel and is therefore above the global average. 82 per cent of German companies are struggling to fill vacancies, according to a recent study by the Manpower Group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Other challenges include ensuring that there are always enough employees on the shop floor to meet changing customer demand. Retail companies are under massive pressure to adapt to new situations and position themselves against their competitors. Employees play a particularly important role in this, as they often determine customer satisfaction with a brand.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Aligning staff requirements with customer demand<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What is today\u2019s retail reality in relation to these challenges?

These are automatically prioritised and sent to the employees\u2019 mobile devices. This makes it possible to see at a glance which tasks need to be completed first. Employees can work systematically and are therefore more efficient, which saves time and benefits turnover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The overview of completion notifications ensures that teams complete what needs to be completed first. Store managers can view task status in real time and know how much progress has been made. The solution offers comprehensive optimisation to increase efficiency.

But what does this mean in retail? Communication is more than just conveying information in quarterly meetings. It is much more about having an overview of all stores, employees and customers. And last but not least, employees in direct proximity to customers need the necessary tools to communicate and serve customers quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to Zebra\u2019s 16th Global Customer Survey, 79 per cent of retail employees prefer to collaborate with their team via a mobile device in-store because they believe their work would add more value to their organisation if they had the right tools.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Simple mobile communication<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Zebra\u2019s branch communication solution Workcloud Communication works via mobile device.

An important goal of effective staff scheduling is to adjust staff costs to the customer volume forecast and minimise losses due to overstaffing or understaffing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Effective staff scheduling ensures that the right number of employees are on the floor and that the shifts match the forecast demand. Plan coverage guarantees that enough employees are scheduled to cover the forecast demand. The aim is to achieve minimum coverage, but not to over-cover.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Mobile planning motivates<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Intelligent workforce management: AI-supported workforce scheduling, such as the Workcloud Workforce Optimisation Suite, automates the planning process and ensures that store employees receive accurate schedules that take their preferences and needs into account. In-store workloads are also factored into workforce scheduling, ensuring the right number of employees are scheduled for in-store tasks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Self-service solutions for staff are also crucial for employee engagement. With self-service solutions, employees can view their schedules and time entries at any time, swap shifts and send sick notes \u2013 all conveniently via smartphone.
