Background

Sizeer is one of Central and Eastern Europe's leading streetwear and sneaker retailers, operating more than 250 stores across 14 countries. Owned by Marketing Investment Group (MIG), the retailer serves a trend-conscious customer base and carries some of the world's most recognizable brands, including Nike, adidas, New Balance, Puma, Vans, Converse, and Reebok.

As the business expanded internationally, managing workforce scheduling became increasingly complex. Different labor regulations across multiple countries created operational challenges, while store managers outside Poland relied heavily on spreadsheets for planning, reporting, and workforce management.

To support continued growth, MIG sought a solution that could simplify scheduling, improve compliance, standardize processes, and provide greater visibility into store performance across its international network.

Managing labor compliance across 14 countries became dramatically simpler

One of the biggest challenges facing Sizeer was ensuring compliance with labor regulations across multiple European markets.

As new laws and regulations were introduced, manually managing schedules while ensuring compliance became increasingly difficult. Headquarters lacked an efficient way to monitor workforce planning across hundreds of stores, and validating schedules against local requirements required significant time and effort.

StoreForce provided the flexibility to configure country-specific labor rules while giving the business confidence that schedules aligned with local regulations. Instead of relying on manual checks, managers gained a more efficient and scalable way to manage compliance across every market.

The result was greater consistency, reduced administrative burden, and a stronger foundation for international growth.

Real-time visibility replaced spreadsheets and delayed reporting

Prior to StoreForce, many stores relied on spreadsheets for workforce planning and reporting.

This approach limited visibility across the business and made it difficult for leaders to understand what was happening in stores until the end of each reporting cycle. Scheduling decisions were often based on previous schedules rather than current business needs, creating missed opportunities to improve performance.

StoreForce introduced real-time visibility into workforce planning, scheduling, and store performance.

Headquarters gained a centralized view of store operations, while managers could monitor results throughout the day and react more quickly to changing conditions. Performance data refreshes throughout the day enabled field leaders to identify opportunities and make informed decisions while business was still happening.

A retail-first platform helped build a stronger performance culture

During its evaluation process, MIG reviewed multiple workforce management solutions but found many were designed primarily around HR processes rather than retail operations.

StoreForce stood apart because it was built specifically for retailers.

The platform connected workforce planning directly to business performance, helping managers understand not only who was working and when, but also how scheduling decisions influenced store results.

As adoption increased, workforce discussions became more data-driven, scheduling decisions became more strategic, and teams gained greater visibility into the relationship between labor planning and store performance.

Supporting 250+ stores with one connected operating platform

Beyond scheduling and compliance, StoreForce has become an important operational tool across the business.

Managers use the platform to understand performance, monitor staffing, review results, and support daily decision-making. District leaders and headquarters teams benefit from greater visibility into store operations, while ongoing training and support have helped drive adoption throughout the organization.

By replacing fragmented processes with a single platform, Sizeer created a more consistent approach to workforce management while positioning the business for continued growth.

In Sizeer’s own words…

“When we began evaluating workforce management solutions, we needed more than a scheduling tool. We needed a platform that could support labor compliance across 14 countries, provide visibility into store performance, and help our teams make better decisions every day.

StoreForce delivered exactly that. Managers now have instant access to workforce information, schedules, performance metrics, and store results in near real time. What was once managed through spreadsheets and manual processes is now visible across the organization through a single platform.

What impressed us most was that StoreForce was built by people who understand retail. The platform supports business processes, not just HR administration, and the team has consistently provided training, guidance, and actionable insights throughout the rollout.

We would absolutely recommend StoreForce to other retailers. The proof of concept demonstrated the value early on, and the support we've received has gone well beyond our expectations. StoreForce has helped us create a more data-driven culture while giving our teams the tools they need to operate more effectively every day.” - Lukasz Szala, Former Key Project Manager, Marketing Investment Group (MIG) and Anna Dudek, Payroll & HR Admin Manager, Marketing Investment Group (MIG)
