Legion WFM helped this retailer achieve a 500 basis point improvement in labour efficiency across thousands of its stores. This improvement in workload efficiency enables them to reinvest that labour to serve customers better and increase customer satisfaction. ‘There are very few projects that have that high a level of impact,’ "
