Challenges in retail

Seasonal Hiring Spikes

Black Friday in the US, Singles Day in China, Boxing Day in the UK. Every market has peaks.

High Turnover Management

Retail turnover is brutal. Onboarding and offboarding across borders adds complexity.

Multi-Country Rollouts

Opening 10 stores in 10 countries means 10 different labor law regimes.

Hourly vs. Salaried

Overtime, shift differentials, and break laws vary wildly by country.
