Bealls taps Legion Technologies AI workforce management platform to boost employee experience

Legion Technologies, a specialist in workforce management (WFM), has announced a new partnership with Bealls, a family owned, privately held retailer with stores in 22 US states.

Bealls will leverage Legion’s AI native workforce management platform in demand forecasting, automated scheduling, time and attendance tracking, and frontline communications to improve the experience for associates across the company’s 650 retail locations.

Headquartered in Bradenton, Fla., Bealls operates under the names bealls, Bealls Florida, and Home Centric.

In adopting the Legion platform, it says it will offer employees increased autonomy and flexibility in their schedules. The application enables associates to easily request changes to their schedule, including the ability to trade and swap shifts, set availability, and pick up open or extra shifts.

“As a family owned business, Bealls understands the importance of ensuring employees are fulfilled both at work and in their personal lives,” says Sanish Mondkar, CEO and Founder at Legion Technologies.

“We are helping businesses enable this crucial balance with intelligent, automated, employee-centric workforce management that maximises labour efficiency and employee engagement simultaneously. By embracing the power of AI, Bealls will deliver a transformed associate experience that truly meets the needs of today’s hourly workforce.”

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Legion Technologies was among the winners at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last night’s gathering.
