Example

Labour cost: Hours paid with no work to do

A station waits for material, or a checkout stands open with no customers.

Illustration of a store and a plant: shelves and two checkouts in the store, and a machine, a workbench and racks in the plant
The idle checkout lane and the station waiting for material are lit in blue; dashed spots show where the forecast says staff are needed.

SAROS · Past

SAROS compares paid hours with the work, shift by shift, and finds the hours when checkouts or stations stood idle.

AZIMUTH · Future

AZIMUTH forecasts the people needed each hour, at checkouts and stations, and proposes a shift schedule.

The data we use

Your shift schedules, paid hours, sales by checkout and production counts by hour.

Where to start

In a plant: one staffed station. In a store: one group of checkouts.
