How do you turn scattered data sources into a forecast you can actually use to run your operation? In this Tech Talk, Dyflexis will show how data-driven planning starts with a reliable foundation: combining historical data, expected revenue, footfall, weather conditions, and other external variables into an accurate labour-demand forecast. You will discover how this forecast provides hour-by-hour, department-level insight into staffing needs, and how dashboards and real-time data help teams adjust more quickly when conditions change.
