Yes. Legion's Labour Planning is designed to sit on top of your existing workforce management platform: UKG, Workday, Reflexis, Dayforce, and others. Your scheduling and timekeeping workflows remain unchanged. Legion becomes the planning and forecasting layer feeding those systems more accurate targets, with no rip-and-replace required.

Demand forecasting predicts how much volume (customers, transactions, traffic) you'll have. Labour planning translates that forecast into how many labour hours and dollars are required to support it, broken down by role and location.

Without accurate forecasting, labour plans are built on the wrong assumptions. Legion delivers both: Forecasting at 15-minute intervals and bottom-up labour planning that converts the forecast into executable targets.

Legion is built on an open, API-first architecture and integrates with most enterprise WFM and HRIS platforms. Standard integration patterns send demand forecasts and labour targets from Legion into the customer's existing scheduling platform, while actuals flow back into Legion for continuous reforecasting. No middleware vendor lock-in, no custom scripting required.

Bottom-up labour planning starts with actual operational drivers (demand, productivity standards, labour rules), then builds the budget up from there.

Top-down plans rely on headcount assumptions. Bottom-up reflects how work is actually performed, making them more accurate, more defensible, and more executable.

Labour variance typically comes from three issues:

1. Forecasts that don't reflect actual demand
2. Labour standards that aren't granular enough
3. Plans that aren't enforced in scheduling

Legion addresses all three through Forecasting (refreshed continuously), granular labour standards (per task, not per role), and plan-to-schedule enforcement (so the budget Finance approved is the one that actually runs in stores).

Most retailers find that even a 1–2% reduction in labour variance on a $50M labour spend translates to $500K–$1M annually.

Legion's broader WFM platform delivers a proven 13x ROI across customers, driven by schedule optimisation, reduced attrition, improved productivity, and operational efficiency.

No. Your existing scheduling platform continues handling scheduling and timekeeping. Legion improves the labour intelligence feeding it. Store teams continue using the same workflows and interfaces they already know.

Traditional labour budgeting tools like Anaplan, Workday Adaptive, and Excel focus on financial budgeting. Legion connects operational demand directly to labour execution.

Instead of simply reporting labour costs, Legion builds operational labour plans in executable details, hours, coverage, productivity, and scheduling targets, then enforces those plans directly in workflow execution.

Yes. Legion gives Finance and Operations a shared, governable labour plan with version control and real-time visibility.

Finance gets operationally grounded budgets. Operations get executable store-level targets. Both work from the same single source of truth in real time, rather than reconciling spreadsheets after period close.

Full deployment timelines vary by scope and existing data infrastructure, but Legion's cloud-native, prebuilt connectors mean implementation is faster and lighter than legacy WFM rollouts.

No. Legion plugs into the workforce management platform you already have. Your scheduling, time, and payroll workflows remain intact. Legion enhances the planning and forecasting intelligence behind them with better targeting, sharper schedules, and no rip-and-replace.

It probably isn't. If even 1–2% of your labour budget is leaking through variance, that can represent $500K–$1M every year on a $50M labour spend, often invisible until period close.

That's fine. Legion sits alongside your existing platform with no scheduling disruption, payroll impact, or rip-and-replace requirement.
