Workforce Management: Tomax Workforce Management Solution Helps Save Mart Manage Growing Employee Base

Tomax Corporation is pleased to announce the expansion of its current relationship with Save Mart Supermarkets. Earlier last year, Save Mart chose to implement Tomax' Workforce Management solution, including labor forecasting and scheduling in 127 stores that were acquired from Alberstons LLC. In December, the business decided to purchase additional licenses to implement Tomax Workforce Management in their remaining 125 Save Mart and Food Maxx bannered stores.

The Workforce Management solution, a component of the Tomax solution suite called Demand- Driven Retail Continuum, is used to control labor costs and boost customer satisfaction by creating accurate schedules to support all retail processes at the stores, including customer service. In the United States, the Tomax Workforce Management solution supports labor forecasting, scheduling and time and attendance processes for more than 7,800 stores and 1.5 million employees.

Steve Gaines, Sr. Director of Retail Efficiencies at Save Mart, said, "Save Mart has had a very successful relationship with Tomax over the years and is looking forward to completing our enterprise-wide implementation of Workforce Manager. Workforce Manager is a key strategic step towards optimizing our planning, execution, and measurement of labor efficiency and labor effectiveness.

"We are delighted to expand our relationship with Save Mart. As a result of twenty years of experience in retail labor management, Tomax offers a robust, easy to use workforce management solution that manages payroll costs while improving customer service, as well as connecting the dots across people and processes to maximize operational effectiveness," commented Tomax CEO Eric Olafson.
