AI Workflow Recommendations gives you a weekly set of prioritised actions for each department, generated by Hank from your live data. It’s designed to turn department performance into a repeatable improvement loop: review → act → re-check.
Recommendations can be turned into tasks in Retail+ so they’re owned, tracked, and closed out.
A typical day with Department Workflow Recommendations — a weekly loop that sticks
- Morning
- You open Retail+ and review the weekly recommendations for each department.
- You get a short list of what matters, not another wall of metrics.
- Noon
- You turn the top recommendations into tasks for the department manager and store team.
- The work becomes visible, assigned, and time-bound.
- Afternoon
- You check progress across stores and see what’s stuck or overdue.
- You can unblock execution while there’s still time to change the week.
- Evening
- You leave notes on what you’re expecting to see next week if the actions land.
- The team builds a learning rhythm, not a one-off fix.
