Optimized scheduling

Blue Yonder’s advanced scheduling optimization engine handles unique work rule permutations to create optimal, compliant schedules for each location in a single instance of the system.

Play by the rules

Easy-to-set-up scheduling engine helps you define rules based on standard timeframes such as day, week, month or intra-day, and also change rules by country and location to keep up with dynamic labor laws.

Shift work made simple

Ensure consistent and superior service across all of your stores with cross-location scheduling. For example, one drugstore chain uses this feature to schedule their pharmacists across multiple stores to ensure great service during their peak hours.
