Forecast Demand SchedulerSM 4.0 Enterprise Edition Addresses the Workforce Management Needs of Multi-site Retailers
Irving, Texas – June 26, 2001 – Timera, a leader in workforce management solutions, today announced the availability of Forecast Demand Scheduler 4.0, the latest edition of the company’s flagship product suite for retail labor forecasting and scheduling. This new release focuses on the inclusion of features designed to further enhance the use of Forecast Demand Scheduler for multi-site retail operations.
Designed to address the management and performance needs of the enterprise, where multiple people need access to the system, Forecast Demand Scheduler 4.0 is a robust solution as it supports both enterprise level databases (Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server) and distributed single-site Microsoft Access databases.
Highlights of 4.0 include:
Support for all enterprise-level administrative requirements.
Enhanced security through greater levels of user privileges and password encryption.
Improved data integrity through locking mechanisms that ensure edits and processes are not impacted by other users accessing the same data.
Robust system management capabilities such as on-line backups, greater reliability, and restore and recovery capabilities are now available along with a migration utility for existing customers.
“We are extremely excited about this version of Forecast Demand Scheduler as it addresses the needs of our existing multi-site customers and positions Timera very well for all large retail operations,” said Scott W. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Timera.
Improved Central Office Control
Forecast Demand Scheduler 4.0 coupled with Timera’s Central OfficeSM application provides even greater value to centrally managed operations. Central Office allows a location, such as a company’s headquarters, to define forecasting, budgeting and scheduling parameters within Forecast Demand Scheduler for all store locations. This enhanced functionality of Central Office has vastly improved our clients’ ability to communicate and implement real-time changes to stores.
