The store floor is your
brand.
Staff it like it
In fashion and apparel retail, the associate on the floor is the brand experience. They convert footfall, protect the standard, and decide whether the customer comes back. Bharat Altum staffs that floor. Where India shops for itself, we run the people who make the store work.
The Challenge
The workforce challenge in Apparel & General Retail
Retail floors carry a hard set of pressures at once. Footfall has to convert, and conversion depends on associates who know the product and represent the brand well. Standards have to hold across every door, from a flagship to a mall counter to a franchise outlet. Shrinkage has to be controlled. And staffing has to flex for weekends, season changes, end-of-season sales and festive peaks without the floor ever looking understaffed.
On top of this sits high attrition. Store associates churn quickly, and each exit costs training time, product knowledge and floor consistency. A premium fashion brand also cannot accept the same grooming, behaviour and selling standard as a value format. The workforce model has to fit the brand, not just fill the roster.

How We Deliver
How Altum delivers here
Staffed to your standard
We staff each brand to its own standard. A premium apparel floor and a value format get different selection, grooming and selling expectations, configured per client. Geo-fenced attendance ties staff to specific stores, and HRMS dashboards give your area and regional managers live visibility into who is on the floor across the network.
Conversion & retention
The incentive engine is set to your conversion and footfall metrics. Attrition control is run as a bespoke plan for your formats, because keeping a trained associate is cheaper than constantly rebuilding the floor. Your named Account Lead owns the relationship, compliance across states is owned for you, and payroll runs only on your approval.
Put the right person on every floor, every day.
