Webinar: Adaptive Planning for Retail

Connecting Finance, Workforce, and the Store Floor

How specialty and department store retailers are replacing spreadsheet chaos with intelligent, integrated planning, from the C-suite to every store in the chain.

Retail planning was never simple. But somewhere between managing hundreds of stores, a variable workforce, a finance team buried in reconciliation, and the pressure to align brick-and-mortar performance with digital demand, spreadsheets stopped being a solution and started being the problem.

Join Workday and Okorio for a live session covering three of the highest-impact planning challenges in retail today, and how leading chains are solving them with Workday Adaptive Planning.
