Staffing that moves with the streets

Factori helps you use real‑world signals—footfall, events, local economics, traffic, and more—to build schedules and staffing plans that match what’s actually happening around every store, branch, hotel, depot, or service area.

Why workforce planners need real-world signals

Most schedules are built from history and simple rules of thumb. That breaks when:

Traffic shifts between channels or locations

Events or weather spike demand in a few pockets

Local economics change in ways your models don’t see

Factori adds the outside‑in view you’re missing, so you can:

Put more people on when and where they’re needed

Reduce idle time and overtime

Make staffing decisions that finance and ops both trust

What parts of labor planning you can improve

Store & branch staffing

Align shifts with real footfall and visit patterns, not just last year’s averages.

QSR & hospitality schedules

Plan front‑of‑house, back‑of‑house, and housekeeping around events and local demand.

Depot & warehouse labor

Match inbound and outbound volume patterns to labor and shift patterns.

Contact centers & support

Use external context to anticipate spikes tied to outages, storms, or big moments.

Field & service teams

Schedule visits and routes with traffic and local demand in mind.

The data behind smarter staffing curves

You keep your current WFM tools and forecasts. Factori feeds them better context.

You choose which signals matter most for your business. We make them simple and comparable across locations.

Mobility

Mobility

How people move through the physical world—visits and patterns around stores, venues, and neighborhoods.

Places

Places

Clean, consistent details about stores, restaurants, venues, points of interest, and their surroundings.

People

People

Privacy‑safe consumer graph covering demographics, income bands, lifestyle and interest indicators.

Events

Events

Local events that move demand: concerts, sports, conferences, school calendars, public holidays, and more.

Retail Sales

Retail

Retail sales indicators by market and category to show where spend is rising or softening.

Market

Market

Search and commerce signals: which brands, products, and categories are gaining attention across markets.

How teams use real world data for workforce optimization

Match staffing to true demand curves

Use Mobility, Events, and Retail Sales to reshape daily and weekly staffing curves by store, branch, or site.

Differentiate by location type

Stop using a one‑size‑fits‑all rule. Group locations by neighborhood, economic strength, and visit patterns.

Plan for special days and seasons

Combine Events and Market data to anticipate abnormal days—concert nights, big games, holiday runs, weather‑sensitive periods.

Support new store and market launches

Use People, Economic, and Mobility data to set initial staffing levels where you don’t yet have history.

Explain labor variances

When labor runs high or low vs plan, quickly see if traffic, events, or local conditions were part of the story.

Questions your operations 
leaders can answer

Which branches are consistently understaffed at peak hours?

Where can we reduce overtime without hurting service levels?

How should staffing look in new locations with similar external profiles?

How should we adjust staffing at these stores on event days vs normal days?

Which depots will feel the impact first if local demand or economics change?

Pick a pilot group

Choose 50–200 locations (stores, branches, hotels, depots) where staffing is a known pain point.

Choose the datasets to bring in

For example: Mobility + Events + Traffic for QSR and retail, or People + Economic + Retail Sales for branches and service sites.

Compare current vs optimized staffing

Use Factori data to propose adjusted curves and coverage, then compare impact on service, sales, and labor variance.
