How Do I Schedule with Forecasts?

After Manager Projections have been input into the Sales Module, the Manager Projections can be displayed on the labor schedules, providing instant feedback on how each day of the schedule will compare to the managers projections. System Generated Forecasts can also be displayed on the employee schedule.

Daily View with Forecasts

As the schedule is changed, the Manager Projections in the Daily View are updated automatically, displaying the ratio between the schedule and the Sales Type chosen for this schedule.

Schedule Detail with Forecasts

The Schedule Detail view of the labor schedule will display critical statistics about the schedule, including the Variable Hours (hours scheduled for regular employees), Non-Variable Hours (hours scheduled for managers or supervisors), Paid and Unpaid Breaks, as well as Manager Projections.

If the ratio is shown in green, then the ratio is beneath the desired ratio.
If the ratio is shown in red, then the ratio is too high.

If enforcement of the ratios is enabled in the Sales Options, managers and supervisors will be unable to post the schedule unless the ratio is beneath the desired ratio.

We are one year into it now, well past being enamored with the newness. We are married to TimeForge. It's as essential to us now as any of our management tools today, and we very happy about that.- Steve @ Hermosa Cyclery
We really like the program so far. I know that it is geared towards restaurants, but we are a real estate company and we love it because it is inexpensive and it is so easy to use.- Nicole @ Exit Premier Realty
The Timeforge scheduling system has not only increased our efficiency tremendously; decreased the errors in what is normally an error prone environment; it has also saved us ten times what it costs us each month.- Michael @ Tiara Cafe
