Legion's data-driven approach produces highly accurate demand forecasts, automatically optimizes schedules, and provides actionable insights so employers with a large hourly workforce–like Hollywood Feed–can control labor costs, increase productivity, and minimize compliance risk.
“Retailers like Hollywood Feed are facing considerable challenges as they increase their geographic footprint, store count, number of employees, and ability to reach more customers. Intelligent automation is key to both streamlining business operations while creating a better employee experience,” said Sanish Mondkar, CEO and founder of Legion Technologies. “With artificial intelligence at its core, the Legion WFM Platform delivers intelligent automation that streamlines labor operations processes while vastly improving employee engagement.
