Frequently asked questions

Workforce forecasting and scheduling is the process of predicting how many employees you need, when you need them and then building work schedules to meet those requirements. SAP Workforce Forecasting and Scheduling by WorkForce Software brings both together in one solution: it forecasts labour requirements using historical trends, business calendars and demand signals, then generates optimised schedules that reflect employee skills, availability and labour law requirements. Learn more: Workforce Management Software | SAP

The scheduling engine evaluates millions of schedule combinations based on your configured rules — employee skills, availability preferences, labour costs, union requirements and local labour laws — and selects the best result. You can create new optimised schedules in minutes and update rule configurations without rebuilding from scratch. Forecasting templates and historical trend data inform the process so that schedules reflect real demand patterns.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is recommended as the system of record for employee data. SAP Workforce Forecasting and Scheduling by WorkForce Software runs in the Public Cloud and is available for organisations with 1,000 or more users. It complements the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central solution for organisations that want to connect scheduling to core HR data.

Employees can manage their own schedules through mobile self-service. They can set availability preferences, request time off, swap shifts with colleagues and receive real-time alerts about schedule changes. When managers build schedules, employee-submitted preferences are visible in the scheduling engine, so the final schedule reflects both business needs and workforce availability.

You configure your labour rules, union requirements and local regulations directly in the solution. The scheduling engine applies these rules to every schedule it generates before it is published, helping reduce the risk of non-compliant shifts. Reporting dashboards track labour costs and compliance metrics over time and you can update rule configurations as regulations change. Learn more: What is Workforce Management?

SAP Workforce Forecasting and Scheduling by WorkForce Software is suited to organisations with complex, rules-driven scheduling needs — multiple shifts, seasonal demand variation or a mix of skills-based and compliance requirements. It is available in the Public Cloud for organisations with 1,000 or more users, with no prerequisite. Industries including retail, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics use it to forecast labour requirements and manage workforce schedules at scale.
