The Challenge

Labor costs are one of the largest expenses for businesses

Labor costs are one of the largest expenses for businesses. In the hospitality industry, for example, labor costs can average up to 50% of total operating expenses. In the face of rising costs and increased competition, companies are looking to reduce their labor spending. They are trying to strike the balance of making sure they aren’t caught short-staffed causing disgruntled overtime expenses, potential burnout and poor customer service, but at the same time making sure they aren’t over scheduled with underutilized staff.

Our Solution

Optimize staffing levels with intelligent event data

Leading businesses leverage predictive demand intelligence to enhance demand prediction around events and optimize labor. Event data can help companies predict workload enabling them to ensure they have the correct amount of staff at the necessary times to handle the amount of expected demand. During peak demand periods, businesses can increase staffing to ensure efficient operations, while during slower periods, they can reduce labor costs by adjusting schedules or reallocating resources to other tasks.
