Labour is one of the two most expensive cost centres for an operator. With our Labour productivity solutions, you can save time in creating schedules and significant costs through better demand planning.

Make Sense of Your Data

Dynamic, timely dashboard reporting on scheduling activity, how operations are flexing labour and whether deployment levels are too high or low when compared with budget and forecast. Drill down by area, location, daypart and hour.

DAVE ROSS

CFO, Stonegate Pub Company

“Fourth has enabled the daily examination of the efficiency of rotas versus expected sales, across the 690 sites. By focusing on the exceptions, we can use the ‘best in class’ performance to help the underperformers maximise sales and profit. We saved £4 million in one financial year. Driving efficiency is not about cutting labour, it’s about putting the right people on at the right time, and recognising individual work preferences. Again, here data is key. I like the fact that I can challenge our teams with fact-based data, and I know Fourth is at the forefront of that kind of data analysis.”
