How PlannerPuffin Works

Three steps from sales plan to optimized schedule.

1

Set Sales Targets

District managers set weekly sales projections. Targets cascade from corporate to district to store level.

2

Generate Labor Budgets

PlannerPuffin calculates earned labor hours based on your sales targets and SPLH goals. Budgets align to demand automatically.

3

Build Optimized Schedules

Store managers build schedules within earned hours. Coverage analysis and real-time SPLH tracking close the feedback loop.
