Empowering the Modern Retail Workforce
Retail is fast, distributed, and seasonal. Whether you manage a chain of physical stores or a fleet of delivery riders, your HR challenges are unique. High attrition, rapid scaling during festivals, and remote attendance tracking require a specialized solution, not a generic spreadsheet.
Location-Based Attendance
Eliminate "buddy punching" and attendance fraud. Kiework uses Geo-fencing technology to ensure that store staff can only mark attendance when they are physically within the store's radius.
For delivery riders and field sales teams, our mobile app tracks their live location during working hours, giving you visibility into their routes and ensuring they are paid accurately for their time on the road.
Automated Sales Incentives
Commissions are the lifeblood of retail motivation. Yet, calculating them manually at month-end is tedious and error-prone. Kiework integrates sales performance data directly with payroll.
Define complex incentive structures—flat rates, percentage of sales, or tiered milestones—and let the system calculate the payouts automatically. Employees can track their earnings in real-time, boosting motivation.
Scalable Onboarding
Retail sees massive hiring spikes during festive seasons. Our paperless, mobile-first onboarding allows you to hire hundreds of temporary staff in minutes. Candidates upload documents via their phone, sign digital contracts, and are ready to work immediately—no paperwork, no delays.
Winning the War for Talent on the High Street
The retail sector faces a "triple threat" in workforce management: extremely high attrition rates, the complexity of managing a distributed multi-site workforce, and the intense pressure of seasonal scaling. In this environment, HR software cannot just be a database; it must be a tool for engagement and operational efficiency.
The High Cost of Churn
In retail, employee turnover can often exceed 50% annually. The cost of recruiting, onboarding, and training a replacement wipes out store margins. Kiework addresses this by streamlining the onboarding process to get new hires productive faster ("Time to Value"). More importantly, our engagement tools—like transparent incentive tracking and instant shift scheduling—give employees a sense of control and belonging, which are key drivers of retention in frontline roles.
Geo-Fencing vs. Trust
For a distributed workforce spread across malls, high streets, and warehouses, attendance tracking is a challenge. "Buddy punching" and time theft are real issues that bleed profitability. However, draconian tracking measures can hurt morale.
Kiework strikes a balance with smart Geo-fencing. Staff can punch in using their own mobile devices, but only when they are physically within the store's coordinates. This eliminates the need for expensive biometric hardware at every small outlet while ensuring data integrity. For area managers, a live dashboard provides a bird's-eye view of staffing levels across the region, allowing for rapid resource reallocation during busy hours.
Seasonal Scalability
Retail is cyclical. During Diwali, Black Friday, or Christmas, your workforce might double overnight. Your HRMS needs to scale with you. Kiework's architecture allows for bulk onboarding of temporary staff, simplified contract management for seasonal workers, and automated offboarding once the season ends. This elasticity ensures that your HR team isn't buried in paperwork exactly when the business needs them to be focused on store operations.
