Retail and e-commerce staffing software for shifts, seasons and storefronts

Retail runs on shifts and seasons: a store device records who turned up, headcount doubles before the holidays, and half a dozen people need the marketplace login. Orbiz records attendance from the device, onboards seasonal staff with a checklist, and shares storefront credentials safely — on one record per person.

The problem

Where retail teams lose time today

01

Store punches reconciled by hand

The clock at the back door knows who arrived, but the export is reconciled against the rota in a spreadsheet before anyone is paid.

02

Seasonal hires onboarded by word of mouth

Forty temporary staff join in one month, and each one learns the till, the returns policy and the safety rules from whoever is on shift.

03

One marketplace login, six people

The storefront, marketplace and payment provider credentials are known to everyone who has ever needed them, and changed by nobody.

    Shift attendance from the store device

    Import punches from biometric or card devices and map each PIN to a person once. Break types, leave requests and the organisation’s holiday calendar give managers a live view of who is in, with attendance reports per store.

Replace your stack

What retail teams usually pay for instead

A team like yours typically runs on a time clock app, Trello, Google Drive, a shared password sheet and a payroll spreadsheet — each with its own bill, its own user list and its own offboarding step. Orbiz covers the same jobs for one flat price per organisation, with unlimited members.

One platform

One login, one set of roles, one database that is yours

A retail business has stores, warehouses and an online team, and staff who move between them. Because every tool reads one employee record, moving a person to another store is one edit, and a seasonal contract ending is one removal that closes attendance, files and shared logins together.

Retail FAQ

Questions retail teams ask

Can each store have its own attendance device and holiday calendar?

Yes. Device imports map PINs to people regardless of which device recorded them, holiday calendars are configured per organisation, and a store manager’s role can be limited to approving leave and viewing attendance for their own team.

Does Orbiz manage inventory or point of sale?

No. Orbiz manages the people side of a retail business — attendance, onboarding, HR records, shared credentials, files and project boards. It is not a point-of-sale or inventory system.

How quickly can we onboard forty seasonal staff?

Each hire is converted from the pipeline into an employee record with one action, and every record receives the same onboarding checklist automatically. Staff complete document uploads and acknowledgements themselves from their own login.
