RETAIL SECTOR
HR and payroll software for retail
No two retailers are the same, although they may face some similar problems. From high street fashion houses, to grocers, to pharmacists, each one also has its own unique challenges. Every retailer needs a solution as distinctive as the challenges it faces.
Zellis understands this and has a range of solutions and services to help address whatever HR and payroll challenges the sector faces. This includes staffing shortages and high turnover, poor employee engagement, and seasonal demand planning. Add in increasingly complex payroll legislation, and it’s easy to see why many retailers are distracted by ‘back-office’ issues rather than spending time on addressing their customers’ needs.
We can help take away your payroll headaches, simplify the recruitment and onboarding process, and help address employee engagement. That’s why the country’s leading retailers put their faith in Zellis.

"Since working with Zellis Background Checking we are processing 2000-2500 checks a month, we've gone from 14-days plus to around a 6-day turnover for the full checking process to be completed – this has a really positive effect on our recruitment process. The dashboard is visual and easy to follow."
