This Guidance helps retailers build their own retail management application that manages schedules, tasks, and communications for their workforce, all from a central location. Retailers start by setting up a front-end user interface to host the application. Next, retailers connect the application to data and events using a serverless GraphQL API service that can query and combine data from multiple data sources, such as job role and employee availability. The data is integrated with a fast and flexible database service, secured, stored, and, with the help of machine learning, can be imported to generate workforce demand planning.
