Forecast demand with confidence – every shift, every day

Turn complex demand patterns into clear staffing plans with AI workforce forecasting

Quinyx Forecasting helps businesses accurately predict labor demand across stores, departments, and regions. It analyzes trends such as sales, transactions, foot traffic, promotions, and seasonal peaks to generate precise, industry-tuned forecasts.

The system automatically selects or blends the best-performing models for each environment, continuously improving as more data flows in. Managers then use these forecasts to build optimized schedules that match staffing levels with real demand – not guesswork.
