DALLAS, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Logile, the global leader in AI-powered Connected Workforce solutions, serving some of the world’s largest and most operationally complex retailers, today announced Enterprise Productivity Simulator (EPS), a breakthrough capability within the Logile Connected Workforce Platform that enables retailers to simulate workforce, operational, and financial decisions across their business before they become budgets, schedules, or execution plans.

Retailers make billions of dollars of workforce, operational, and service-related decisions every year. Those decisions shape productivity, customer experience, profitability, and growth. Yet most organizations still rely on disconnected planning processes, assumptions, and historical averages to guide decisions whose consequences may not become visible until months later. As retail complexity continues to increase, leaders need a better way to understand the impact of enterprise decisions before resources are committed and execution begins.

EPS establishes a new approach to enterprise workforce planning and decision-making. Using AI, operational models and store-specific data, retailers can simulate strategic decisions across thousands of stores simultaneously, understand their financial and operational consequences, compare alternatives, and finalize the optimal enterprise strategy before committing labor investments.

Rather than relying on top-down assumptions, EPS enables organizations to create true bottom-up enterprise labor budgets.

Through Logile’s EPS, planning teams can build unlimited workforce simulations, evaluating changes to staffing models, labor standards, service levels, operating hours, wage structures, productivity initiatives, and operational strategies. Multiple simulations can then be combined into a single enterprise workforce plan, allowing Finance, Store Operations and Human Resources to collaboratively select the optimal mix of strategies.

EPS empowers retailer leadership to:
Article content
- Simulate workforce and operational scenarios across hundreds or thousands of stores simultaneously.
- Evaluate projected impacts with store-level precision, analyzing outcomes by store, department, role, and 15-minute interval using AI demand forecasts, engineered labor standards, and operational assumptions.
- Continuously recalculate simulations as forecasts, labor standards, wage rates, productivity targets, and business conditions change.
- Align Operations, Finance, HR, and Store Leadership around a shared planning environment and common assumptions, creating greater confidence in workforce investment decisions.
- Create and maintain a unified enterprise labor budget by comparing workforce scenarios, selecting the optimal mix of strategies, and promoting approved simulations into a single source of planning truth across labor planning, scheduling, execution, and performance measurement.
