Top quality, top value – Fishbull

FISHBULL is guaranteed to make any DIY enthusiast’s pulse race a little faster. With some 275 “Sonderpreis Baumarkt” stores and an online shop, the discount tool seller markets everyday consumer products at rock-bottom prices – from screws, nails and disks for cutting, grinding and sanding right through to paints, lubricants and products for home, garden, car and hobbies. And the company is clearly on the right track, with around 30 new stores opening their doors every year. In the course of introducing SAP HANA, the tool expert decided to put professional time and attendance management in place for its 1,500 staff – thereby creating one consistent system landscape. After running a process analysis and identifying huge saving potentials in administration, the company wasted no time in opting for the cloud-based ATOSS Retail Solution. And speed was the order of the day in the implementation too. Twenty stores were integrated into the solution every week, meaning that working time management was soon fully up and running at over 120 of the company’s own stores. All DIY store employees now clock in and out on Datafox terminals and use the mobile app to correct their working times or request holidays. Store managers and administrative staff have been kitted out with access to the Staff Center for this purpose. Task Management triggers proactive warnings if someone forgets a time stamp, is about to hit their working hours limit or needs to correct their times. The project has already delivered one impressive result: Simply switching to digital workflows has saved several thousand hours’ worth of work. Next up is the introduction of an interface to the SAP payroll system and the Workforce Scheduling module. Store managers will soon enjoy demand and cost-optimized workforce scheduling and look forward to an enhanced planning quality. This is because laws, collective agreements, working time balances and qualifications will be automatically taken into account in the future. So it is hardly surprising that thoughts have already turned to integrating franchise stores into the setup too. With ATOSS Workforce Management, FISHBULL has picked just the right tool for the job.
