Choose the right perspective
Match the person's level to your problem, since someone who designed a company-wide labor model sees different issues than someone who ran scheduling for a division or a set of stores. Also consider store format and scale, and ask which scheduling systems they used if you are choosing or replacing one.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you turn sales and traffic forecasts into store schedules that managers actually follow?
- 02What labor standards or rules have made the biggest difference to schedule quality and labor cost?
- 03How do you handle schedule changes, call-outs and employee availability without losing control of hours?

The list covers 10 companies, including Fiesta Mart, Inc.; REI and CVS Health, based on profile data retrieved on October 3, 2026. Being listed here doesn't mean someone has agreed to take calls.
