Focused enough to fix it. Accountable enough to prove it.

No. StoreCadence is software, priced as software: a subscription from USD 6 per employee per month that typically returns two to eleven times its cost in annual labour savings, plus a one-time implementation fee agreed before we start. What we keep from the consulting world is accountability, and every rollout is judged on the labour saving it produces against a measured baseline. The efficiency scan is free and gives you a numbers-first read before any spend.

Software executes the plan you give it; it does not decide what the right plan is. StoreCadence produces that plan, the demand forecast and skills-matched rosters, and connects to your existing tool or runs the scheduling itself. That intelligence is usually where the unrealised saving sits.

We work from data first and pilot before any wider change. Demand-matched rosters tend to reduce understaffed peaks and erratic shifts, which usually improves the staff experience rather than worsening it.

Yes, conservatively. We size the opportunity from your own data with explicit assumptions and a sensitivity range, agree a baseline, and prove it in a pilot before any rollout.

We work only in retail, and our benchmark spans grocery, fashion, DIY, health and beauty, department stores and food service. See the format-specific problems and fixes on our industries pages.
