Dynamic Workforce Management by Trax and Blue Yonder
Trax Flexforce and Blue Yonder come together to solve everyday resource challenges by providing retailers and fulfillment centers with real-time demand visibility, transparency into every shift and a flexible, trained workforce that’s ready and right for the job.
Lack of labor, lower satisfaction
Inflexible, linear labor models result in high employee turnover rates, labor supply challenges and empty shelves. The result? Unhappy customers and employees.
Flexible, transparent and data-driven
Allocate shifts to store staff or Trax Flexforce based on matching algorithms that find the right worker based on performance, experience and workload.
Digital workforce, delighted customers
Keep shelves stocked, meet cross-channel demand and reduce delivery times from days to hours without overworking permanent staff.
How it works
By integrating Blue Yonder’s advanced forecasting and scheduling capabilities with Trax Flexforce, a 1.4 million-strong, on-demand retail workforce, Dynamic Workforce Management intelligently connects available employees to open shifts in real-time.
"Trax gives us real insight into how our products look on-shelf in different retailers and in different regions. We see who else is on-shelf, how it’s placed, and what’s around us."

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.
Trax brings visibility to retail execution as part of our go-to-market strategy.
