The WFM Retail Tech Landscape

Is Dayforce included in your selection process?

Choosing the right Workforce Management (WFM) solution relies on including the leading technology providers in an efficient and focused selection process. At ModusForce, we strongly recommend that any organisation looking for a comprehensive WFM solution includes Dayforce in their shortlist of vendors.

Why should you include Dayforce in your WFM vendor selection?

At ModusForce, our leadership team has spent nearly two decades helping hundreds of organisations navigate their WFM vendor selection process. Having worked with all the major technology providers, we’re often asked: “What’s the best WFM solution?” Our response is always the same: “It depends – there’s no simple answer.” A better question to ask is: “Do we have the right WFM technology providers in the process, and how are we going to make the decision?” While this might sound like a typical consulting response, it’s the most important question to consider. If you include the right providers and follow an objective selection process, the right solution will naturally emerge.

We don’t believe in long, expensive selection processes that drag on. Instead, we recommend a short, sharp, and focused process. Why? Because the truth is, differentiating between WFM solutions – particularly in terms of functionality – has become increasingly difficult. Just a few years ago, the enterprise WFM market had at least four solid options.

Today, the landscape has shifted. UKG remains an obvious contender, and while BlueYonder and Reflexis were once go-to choices in retail, their recent acquisitions have left some questions about their future. US-based providers often still struggle to grasp the complexities of the EMEA market and lack the in-country support many organisations need. Meanwhile, ADP’s acquisition of Workforce Software is one to watch, but it’s still early days in that process.

This is where Dayforce comes in

At ModusForce, we exclusively focus on implementing Dayforce – and for good reason. Dayforce, (recently rebranded from Ceridian) is a comprehensive HR platform with a robust WFM solution. One of its standout features is the single database across all HR modules (Core HR, Payroll, Talent and WFM) which simplifies integration and reduces costs. Even as a standalone WFM solution, Dayforce offers powerful features, such as real-time costing of schedules and innovations like Dayforce Wallet, which enables on-demand pay. Dayforce is growing rapidly, investing heavily in product development, and remains incredibly customer-centric.

These are the reasons ModusForce exclusively partners with Dayforce, and why we believe any organisation considering a new WFM solution – particularly in retail – should include Dayforce in their selection process. In today’s market, selecting the right WFM solution can be challenging, but by including Dayforce in your shortlist, you’re ensuring you have a cutting-edge, scalable platform that’s built for the future.
