We released The Total Economic Impact™ of the Legion Workforce Management Platform, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Legion. According to the study, businesses using the Legion Workforce Management (WFM) platform can expect an ROI of 1,345% over three years. With a net present value of $13.35 million, the quantified benefits accrued by a composite organization based on interviewed customers with 9,000 hourly workers and 500 locations within a three-year time period include:
- Improved scheduling optimization due to more accurate forecasts and AI-powered labor optimization resulting in almost $6.1M in savings (46% of the savings). Companies interviewed as part of the study reported achieving 95% forecast accuracy.
- Reduction in employee turnover rate by empowering employees to own their schedules and providing them with modern communication tools leading to cost savings of $3.6 million (27% of the savings) due to a more engaged workforce.
- Increased manager productivity as a result of automating key tasks with AI, leading to more than $4.2M in labor cost savings (31% of the savings). The composite organization gets a 5-hour reduction/store manager/week on maintaining and managing schedules by using Legion’s demand forecasting and automated scheduling functionalities.
- Reduction in overtime pay by 10% due to Legion’s automated handling of compliance violations in schedule creation and execution. Legion provides organizations with a platform that proactively adjusts the workforce to meet day-to-day needs. Built-in compliance flags and AI-automated scheduling enables organizations to optimize labor and avoid overtime.
- Cost savings and reduced IT burdens by moving off legacy platforms and running in a true SaaS environment.Â
In addition to the quantified benefits, the study also highlights several unquantified but crucial benefits that Legion WFM offers businesses, including improved employee engagement, increased manager-driven sales contributions, unlocked revenue through appropriate staffing, and stronger compliance with complex local guidelines.
