Triversity Introduces LaborWatch, a Web-based Workforce Management Solution

LaborWatch Integrates Time and Attendance, Labor Scheduling and Reporting Into an Easy-to-Use, Web-Based Solution

TORONTO -- Jan. 17, 2005 --Triversity Inc., the fastest-growing international provider of customer-centric retail solutions, today announced LaborWatch, a new web-based workforce management solution that allows retailers to enhance the customer experience, control labor costs, improve employee retention and streamline productivity. LaborWatch is being introduced today at Triversity booth 1701 at the National Retail Federation Show, January 16-19 in New York City.

LaborWatch is a key addition to Triversity`s comprehensive suite of Customer-Centric Solutions for Retail. This highly flexible workforce management solution is easy to use and can quickly be deployed, since it requires no new software or hardware at the store level. As a result, retailers can realize a rapid Return on Investment.

Using Triversity`s LaborWatch, retailers can:

-- Enhance the Customer Experience. LaborWatch ensures that retailers deploy the right associates in their stores at the right times -- a key factor in creating a better customer experience.

-- Reduce Labor Costs. LaborWatch provides visibility across the organization, allowing retailers to identify labor overages or shortages early, in order to ensure that sufficient labor hours are available to cover the most critical selling seasons.

-- Improve Productivity. LaborWatch helps retailers improve productivity and drive best practices throughout their organization by standardizing chain-wide procedures and automating paper-based or manual processes.

-- Increase Employee Satisfaction and Retention. LaborWatch factors in employee preferences when generating schedules, so that schedules are better aligned with each employee`s work and life preferences; employees are empowered with intuitive online access to schedules and other self-service functions.

"Workforce management solutions enable retailers to not only streamline their productivity but also increase employee and customer satisfaction," said David Thomas, president and CEO, Triversity Inc. "LaborWatch is a powerful addition to Triversity`s rapidly growing family of customer-centric retail solutions."
