Schedules sized to store traffic. Call-outs covered without the scramble.
Mach 1 forecasts each store's traffic from its own history — holidays, promotions, seasonality — recommends the hours to staff each day, and when a call-out hits, fills the gap from your whole cross-store pool before the floor feels it.
What makes retail hard to staff.
Traffic Swings, Flat Schedules
Foot traffic swings by day, season, and promotion — but schedules get copied from last week. The result is overstaffed Tuesdays and a slammed floor on Saturday.
Coordination by Group Chat
When a call-out happens, coverage runs through store-manager group chats, texts, and calls, with no central view of who is available across stores.
Store-by-Store Rules
Every store has its own hours, staffing levels, and pay terms, with nothing to manage them from one place.
Built to keep every floor covered.
Demand forecasting, per store
Projections built from each store's own traffic history, with holiday surges, promotions, and local events flagged automatically — the schedule knows Black Friday is coming before anyone builds it.
One-click scheduling
Turn the forecast into a full week of right-sized shifts instantly, then drag-and-drop to fine-tune. Auto-fill only adds what the day still needs — never a shift stacked on covered demand.
Coverage from your whole pool
When a store runs short, open shifts go out to available workers across every location. Someone doesn't show? Call in ranked, available coverage with one tap.
Per-store operating rules
Hours, staffing levels, and throughput per location — the schedule respects each store, and it's all managed from one place.
The scheduler you know, with a demand brain behind it.
Works the way your current scheduler does on day one — same grid, same week. Then it starts telling you what the schedule should be.

We connect your stack. We don't replace it.
Runs on top of your ATS
A deep, two-way integration with the ATS you already run, plus custom adapters for any other system, so records stay in sync both ways.
Your payroll provider stays
Validated time exports clean to your payroll, no re-keying. Nothing gets torn out.
No rip and replace
Staffing agency? It runs on top of the ATS you already have. Multi-store operator? It runs on its own. Either way, we come to your terrain.
What changes.
