SISQUAL® WFM successfully concluded its participation in the first edition of NRF 2025 – Retail’s Big Show Europe, which took place in Paris from 16 to 18 September at the Expo Porte de Versailles. This event, unprecedented in Europe, brought together thousands of retail professionals and leaders in a privileged space for sharing trends, technological innovation and growth strategies for the sector.
With a history of notable participation in the NRF Retail’s Big Show in the United States, SISQUAL® WFM made its European debut, introducing new developments in schedule and shift management while offering attendees the opportunity to experience firsthand the complexity of creating efficient schedules.
WFM – The Game was a hit in Paris
In the European edition, the “WFM Timeline Game” – a physical, life-size game mounted on the stand’s wall, in which participants are challenged to correctly assemble the “puzzle” representing the various stages of workforce management – was a hit with participants.
‘This activity was designed to help people understand what tools are needed to create the “ideal schedule” and how effective workforce management facilitates the alignment of operations with business needs,’ explains José Pedro Fernandes, Vice President of SISQUAL® WFM.
Metro Group reinforces credibility in SISQUAL® WFM
One of the main highlights for SISQUAL® WFM in 2024 was the addition of the Metro Group, an international giant in the wholesale sector and owner of the Makro chain, to its retail customer portfolio. With operations in approximately 25 countries, this partnership represents a significant recognition of the software’s robustness in such a dynamic and competitive sector. For Frederico Magalhães, President of SISQUAL® WFM, this milestone further reinforces ‘the credibility and ability of the tool to meet the needs of major players in the global market.’
