BlueCube Software Announces Availability of BlueCube Task Manager
New application drives operational excellence through task control and integration with labor forecast and schedule
ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Jan. 17, 2005 -- BlueCube Software(TM) announced today the availability of BlueCube Task Manager, a new application that organizes visibility and control of site-level projects and tasks. The addition of task management functionality to the BlueCube Enterprise(TM) Workforce Management suite improves the effectiveness of enterprise operations while optimizing the workload and efficiency of associates and managers at the store.
"Retailers are increasing the number of store level tasks associated with home office directives like product resets and promotions. In the past, these tasks had to be managed separately from demand-driven labor schedules resulting in an incomplete picture of store labor utilization, and inconsistent customer service," said Erez Goren, BlueCube Software`s chief executive officer. "BlueCube Task Manager has a positive impact on customer service because it easily manages the creation, distribution, and execution of home office projects while also improving the automated demand forecast and labor schedule."
In a recent Retail Alert, Rob Garf research analyst from AMR Research noted, "While there are a number of inputs retailers need to build the optimal labor schedule, store-centric demand forecasts will allocate just enough store labor to drive great customer service and the required work from the home office. Look to labor forecasting and scheduling software vendors that have the flexibility to combine customer demand data and home-office directives to produce an optimal labor schedule that ensures both employee productivity and store execution compliance."
Pete Reilly, BlueCube Software`s vice president of retail added, "BlueCube Software is the only workforce management provider to deliver a best-of-breed forecasting, scheduling and time & attendance solution with integrated task and project management capability. Retail operators can implement BlueCube Task Manager independent of the BlueCube Enterprise Workforce Management suite, but we are confident that BlueCube Task Manager can further improve customer service by considering home-office directives as part of the store scheduling process."
