Proactive overtime prevention

Project Friday overtime from hours already logged during the week and show branch managers where they can shift work.

Distribution

Where the work begins

Branch managers at a large building-products distributor run labour scheduling alongside inventory, fleet, deliveries and customer relationships. They already check several operational systems each day while managing the branch’s profit and loss.

The problem

A labour-cost problem discovered at month end leaves little room to act. Managers need a useful signal during the week, with a practical way to adjust work before projected overtime arrives.
