Office Depot Saves $1.4M Annually with Zebra Workcloud Workforce Optimization

Learn how Office Depot achieved 97% task compliance, cut overtime by $1.2M, and avoided $214K in costs with Zebra Workcloud Workforce Optimization.

What challenges did Office Depot face before Zebra Workcloud?

Office Depot relied on fragmented systems: a legacy workforce management tool and a homegrown task solution. These limited reporting, reduced payroll accuracy, and required daily manual Excel checks, increasing labor costs and inefficiencies.

How did Zebra Workcloud improve productivity?

Automated reporting eliminated two hours of daily manual work, while managers gained real-time visibility into labor scheduling and compliance. This freed frontline staff and district managers to focus on customer-facing and strategic activities.

How did automation impact labor costs?

By centralizing compliance and payroll reporting within Workcloud, Office Depot reduced its overtime rate, avoided unnecessary new hires, and reallocated staff to higher-value work.

What lessons can other retailers learn from Office Depot’s deployment?

Structured onboarding accelerates adoption. Office Depot’s phased rollout and reliance on internal training slowed early adoption, but once stabilized, the intuitive design of Workcloud drove strong acceptance and long-term value realization.
