Between 20 and 23 September 2026, SISQUAL® WFM will be attending the 60th edition of the leading gathering of leaders, entrepreneurs and decision-makers in the Brazilian food retail sector, ABRAS’26 Food Retail Future, which will take place at the Royal Palm Plaza in São Paulo.
Under the theme “Retail as a Service”, this edition proposes a new strategic vision for the sector, characterised by the transformation of food retail, which currently must manage multiple fronts: products, services, data, customer relationships, and convenience. This evolution of the business model brings new opportunities, but also demands more agile, efficient operations that can respond rapidly to changes in demand.
At an event dedicated to discussing the major strategic issues shaping the sector’s future, SISQUAL® WFM emphasises the importance of intelligent workforce management as a cornerstone of building a more efficient, competitive, and future-ready retail sector.
WFM addresses the challenges of the new retail landscape
The transformation of the food retail sector places operational efficiency at the heart of companies’ priorities. Diversifying services, delivering a high-quality experience, and growing operational complexity make it essential to ensure teams are sized and organised to meet real-time needs.
With SISQUAL® WFM, retailers can use historical data, demand forecasts, events and other indicators to plan and manage their teams more efficiently. “In this way, Workforce Management ceases to be merely a tool for scheduling and takes on a strategic role in the day-to-day management of operations,” explains José Pedro Fernandes, Vice-President of SISQUAL® WFM.
Its presence at ABRAS’26 Food Retail Future thus reinforces SISQUAL® WFM’s commitment to innovation and the development of the Brazilian food retail sector, where it already counts major players such as Supermaxi, Viscardi, Dalben, Mundial and Confiança amongst its clients. Internationally, its client portfolio also includes the Metro AG Group, one of the world’s largest food retail groups, further highlighting SISQUAL® WFM’s global reach and expertise in transforming people management in the retail sector.
