How to Efficiently Track Setup Staff Working Hours for Store Layouts and Promotions

Teams responsible for preparing new store layouts or setting up promotional areas often work on tight schedules and across various locations. Accurately tracking the hours spent on these intensive setup projects, documenting the progress, and ensuring the final result matches the plan are crucial for success. Jobsies.com offers a robust solution to monitor working hours precisely and capture visual evidence of each completed setup, ensuring projects stay on track and standards are met.

How Jobsies Works for Setup Staff:

1. Project-Based Time Tracking: Setup staff use a quick selfie to clock in at the start of their work on a specific layout or promotional area and clock out upon completion or at the end of their shift. This provides accurate time logs for each distinct setup project.
2. Clear Task Assignment: Managers can create projects within Jobsies for each new store layout, seasonal promotion, or specific area revamp (e.g., "Flagship Store - Spring Collection Setup," "Branch West - Endcap Promotion Build"). Staff are then assigned to these specific projects.
3. Visual Progress Documentation: Team members can upload photos at various stages of the setup – from empty space to framework to fully stocked and decorated promotional areas. This creates a visual timeline of the work.
4. Before & After Showcase: The ability to compare 'before' photos of the designated area with 'after' photos of the completed setup provides a clear demonstration of the transformation and adherence to design plans.
5. On-Site Reports and Notes: Staff can add reports or notes to their photo uploads, detailing any challenges encountered, deviations from the plan (with approval), or confirmation of completion, all linked to the specific setup project.
6. Centralized Project Oversight: Project managers and supervisors get a real-time view of setup progress across one or multiple locations, including logged hours and visual documentation, ensuring quality control and timely completion.

Key Benefits for Retail Setup Operations:
