Should you buy a full workforce or retail ERP suite instead?
If you need a time clock on the shop floor, labor law compliance rules by state, payroll, hiring and a stock ledger with supplier ordering, buy a full workforce management or retail ERP suite and pay for it. Footfally is for the store whose problem is narrower: the rota, the shelf price and the monthly figures, done the same way every week, without a per employee fee.
What it is priced on
Footfally: One price for the whole store, $49 a month, however many associates and hours
A full workforce or ERP suite: Priced per user or per location and by tier, so the bill grows with the rota
What you get on day one
Footfally: Every rota, price and expense worksheet free on the page, no account, no trial clock
A full workforce or ERP suite: A demo call and a sales process before you see the product working on your own numbers
Footfall and conversion
Footfally: Yours. Footfally publishes no industry ratio, and the arithmetic runs on the counts you enter
A full workforce or ERP suite: Forecasts from the till feed, which is a real advantage if you have the integration and a cost if you do not
Getting your work back out
Footfally: Bulk export of rotas, price lists and monthly sheets, any time, and 90 days of export after you cancel
A full workforce or ERP suite: Varies by vendor, and the export is often a report rather than your data
