REPL wraps Walmart workforce management project

REPL Group has rolled out JDA Workforce Management to help improve scheduling accuracy for Walmart.

This follows on from implementation of the solution in Asda stores. REPL also deployed its own WFM Connect, a mobile-based application which works with JDA Workforce Management. The project covers 1.6 million associates in 7,000 stores.

The company has also supported a number of Walmart workforce managementinitiatives beyond the initial implementation. It opened an office in close proximity to the retailer’s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, to help with this.

“We always want to exceed customers’ expectations no matter how they choose to shop with Walmart and having our associates in the right place at the right time is the cornerstone to achieving that goal,” says Rory Graham, Senior Director for WFM, Walmart.

“Our collaboration with REPL has been an important part of implementing our new scheduling system for associates, which is helping provide predictable and flexible scheduling options.”
