Case Study: Lewis Food Town reduces scheduling time by 83% with TimeForge Labor

Lewis Food Town cuts scheduling time by 83% with TimeForge Labor

Lewis Food Town, a 26-store grocery chain in Houston, faced significant inefficiency with its outdated labor management system. The vendor, TimeForge Labor, provided a solution to replace their previous system, FMS Labor Saver. The primary challenge was that store managers were spending up to six hours per week building schedules in Excel before manually re-keying them, and the system lacked integration between scheduling, timekeeping, and sales data.

TimeForge implemented its workforce management platform, which integrated scheduling, timekeeping, and sales reporting into a single system. The solution included new hardware that was more cost-effective than a planned upgrade to their old clocks. As a result, Lewis Food Town reduced time spent scheduling by 83%, from six hours down to just 30 minutes. Managers also gained immediate access to sales and labor metrics, allowing for better real-time decision making.
