Forecasting is the foundation for managing your locations.
Precise forecasting lets you create precise schedules in
a breeze, so you can capitalize on sales with just the right amount of labor.

How It Works

Step One
Base Your Forecast on Historic Sales, Pulled Directly From Your POS
Zigy integrates with your POS, so all your historic sales data is just there. No more spreadsheets. No more manual data exports.
Creating a forecast boils down to choosing the historic time frame (like the “same” week of last year) and adjusting the general trend.

Step Two
Create Your Forecasts to the Hour, in a Matter of Minutes
What about that buzzing job fair in the mall? Just tweak your forecasts manually and add notes, so you’ll easily remember next year.
Zigy even creates hourly forecasts for you. Automatically, again based on historic sales. And with the integrated weather feed, you can easily adjust your forecast according to outside conditions.


Step Three
Create Precise Schedules for Exactly the Right Amount of Crew
When it comes to scheduling, the real magic happens: Your hourly forecast appears directly below the scheduler. And by setting the “sales per labor hour”, Zigy shows you exactly how many employees you’ll need throughout each day.
The result: You’ll never have too many or too few crew, so you can capitalize on sales opportunities.
