How Shiftie is Powering Retail Staffing for Event Merchandising

Supporting Iconic Brands with Smart Scheduling

From beloved children’s characters to fashion icons, Event Merchandising operates some of the most exciting retail stores in the UK. Currently, they’re using Shiftie’s employee scheduling system to manage staffing across: 

• Peppa Pig Store at Battersea Power Station 
• Transformers Store at Battersea Power Station 
• Juicy Couture at Westfield Stratford City 

These stores are more than just shops, they’re immersive brand experiences, which means delivering exceptional customer service every day. And that begins with smart, reliable retail staff scheduling. 

Why Shiftie?

Before Shiftie, coordinating rotas across multiple sites often meant juggling spreadsheets, last-minute phone calls, and a constant battle to track shift swaps. Shiftie removes that friction by giving Event Merchandising's managers a clear, centralised view of who’s working, when, and where. 

Here’s how Shiftie is helping Event Merchandising deliver operational excellence: 

• All-in-One Retail Staff Scheduling
  With Shiftie, managers can build and adjust rotas across multiple sites using one centralised platform. 
• Multi-Site Staff Management
  Whether managing Peppa Pig at Battersea or Juicy Couture in Stratford, Shiftie provides the ability for Managers to view all locations in one place making it easy to view availability swap staff between sores and cover gaps.  
• Real-Time Shift Updates and Staff Notifications
  Staff receive automatic updates and shift reminders, so everyone stays on the same page, reducing no-shows and late arrivals. 
• Self-Service Shift Swapping
  Employees can request swaps and offer shifts to colleagues, creating flexibility without compromising cover. 
• Time And Attendance Tracking
  Staff can clock in and out of their shifts seamlessly, for accurate payroll reporting.
