Smarter Workforce Optimisation for a Volatile World
Across retail, ecommerce fulfilment, logistics, and grocery distribution, supply chain leaders are under more pressure than ever to meet SLAs whilst reducing costs. Labour – often the biggest expense in a distribution centre – remains one of the hardest things to plan effectively.
Planning still relies heavily on spreadsheets and instinct. It’s slow, disconnected, and often outdated before it’s implemented. Add in the unpredictability of sales surges, staffing gaps, or delayed stock, and teams are left reacting rather than preparing.
Even when data exists, it’s rarely joined up. That makes strategic planning difficult, and day-to-day firefighting the norm.
Predyktable is designed to change that.
Our self-service platform brings together demand forecasting, workforce planning, and scenario modelling in one place – so teams can plan with more accuracy and adapt more confidently.
Here’s how it works:
Real-time demand forecasting
- We start with your historic data.
- Then we add 30,000+ external data signals – from weather to wages – to understand what drives demand.
- Forecasts update automatically as new data comes in, helping you respond early.
Workforce plans that match reality
- Build staffing plans by site, shift, and skill – down to 15-minute intervals.
- Plans are based on your real constraints, like contracts, working time rules, and skills.
- They adapt as things change, and can always be adjusted by your team on the ground.
Scenario planning built-in
- Run “what if” scenarios without needing a specialist.
- Quickly test the impact of shift changes, volume increases or disruptions.
- Understand the trade-offs between cost, service, and risk – before making decisions.
The platform is built for everyday use, not just reporting. You can:
- Export labour plans into your existing tools
- Generate tailored reports
- Set alerts for key changes
- Share real-time dashboards across teams
Most importantly, it delivers results.
We target a 10% reduction in workforce costs and at least a 10:1 return on your investment.
And because we work with your data and systems, setup is fast and low hassle; built with privacy and security in mind, Predyktable is fully ISO27001 certified and integrates smoothly with WMS, ERP and workforce tools.
In short: it helps you move from reactive to proactive workforce planning – with tools that match the complexity of the real world.
