Reflexis Appointed by Dixons Carphone to Deliver Labour Scheduling, Time and Attendance, and Workforce Management Reporting Solutions for use in Currys, PC World, and Dixons Travel Stores

Reflexis Systems, Inc. announces that Dixons Carphone PLC has selected Reflexis workforce management solutions to further enhance its customer service offering and evolve colleague engagement in its labour operations processes. Dixons Carphone, Europe’s leading specialist electrical and telecommunications retailer and services company, will implement the solutions in its 500 Currys, PC World, and Dixons Travel Stores. After an 18-month review including live trials with multiple vendors, Reflexis Workforce Manager™, Reflexis Time and Attendance™, and Reflexis Advanced Analytics and Reporting™ were selected.

"In this challenging retail environment, it is critical to engage with store colleagues to provide a consistent and an enjoyable shopping experience for our customers across the estate,” said Paul Justice, Central Operations Director, Dixons Carphone (Currys, PC World, Dixons Travel). “We saw an opportunity to partner with a vendor that could provide better forecasting and scheduling capabilities while adding new functionality such as allowing colleagues to view their schedules, swap shifts, book holidays, and view their timesheets at anytime from anywhere using a mobile app. Managers can also access the solution from anywhere using desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. This will allow them to plan as far ahead as required — generating schedules in less time, provide valuable insight, and improve efficiency in payroll processes to ultimately provide a great colleague and, in turn, customer experience."

“The Reflexis Workforce Manager solution was chosen after a comprehensive review on five key evaluation areas: Technical and Operational Capability, Transition Capability and Confidence, Business Confidence, Commercial Compliance, and Price,” said Liam Burke, Head of Workforce Management (Currys, PC World, Dixons Travel). “We selected Reflexis because the functionality of their solutions fully met our requirements. We were also impressed by the company’s track record of solving retailers’ business challenges through their product suite; Reflexis was a good fit with our internal culture.”

“Retailers looking to increase sales, control costs, and improve the customer experience continue to embrace our solutions,” said OP Choudhary, Managing Director for Reflexis EMEA. “Currys PC World is the most recent retailer to recognize the value in the Reflexis workforce management platform in providing long-term competitive advantage in driving excellence in their labour operations and customer engagement strategies. Reflexis is the only company to provide a solution that enables retailers to solve their execution challenges in a comprehensive, profitable, and sustainable manner.”
