Case Study: The Point Skate Shop achieves fast, hassle-free scheduling and time & cost savings with Homebase

How a New Owner of the Slickest Spot in Town Found a Way to Save Time and Money

The Point Skate Shop, a five-person retail and skate-education hub in Fairview, TX, was struggling with time-consuming manual scheduling after a change in ownership. Owner Daniel handled scheduling, timesheets, and payroll himself and needed a better way to free up time for customers and store operations, so he adopted Homebase for workforce management and scheduling (integrated with his Lightspeed Retail POS).

Homebase’s integration pulled employee data into the app, letting Daniel build weekly schedules in under 20 minutes and enable shift-trading so staff manage swaps themselves via the mobile app. As a result, Daniel no longer spends hours on scheduling, employees get notifications and control over shifts, and he can monitor labor vs. sales remotely—saving significant time and eliminating a major operational headache with Homebase.
