The Workbrain for Retail solution is based on a J2EE architecture and has been deployed in several high-volume retailers for time and attendance. In addition, a few retailers have deployed labor scheduling, time and attendance, and self-service. Workbrain 5.0 has some task management functionality built into the solution; however, some customers have chosen to work with task management specialists.

Workbrain innovations include Workbrain Express, which is appropriate for smaller retailers (fewer than 3,000 employees) and is sold through partners. In addition, Workbrain is the first vendor to offer a full-featured Web-based workforce planning and budgeting solution as part of its suite.

Though Workbrain also offers its solutions in vertical markets other than retail, it has been successful to date in the retail time and labor management software market. Workbrain for Retail is appropriate for retailers seeking strong labor scheduling and time and attendance functionality that can scale to large volumes.
