Plan shifts faster. Run your store smoother.
Pep Planner is a WhatsApp-native scheduling copilot for fashion retail teams. Collect availability, fill gaps, approve swaps, and keep every shift covered — without forcing your team into another app.
Built for the real store workflow: the team chats in WhatsApp; Pep Planner keeps the rota structured behind the scenes.
Scheduling should not live across chat, spreadsheets, and memory.
Fashion retail managers already coordinate availability, sick days, swaps, and reminders in WhatsApp. The rota itself usually lives somewhere else — which is where the chaos starts.
WhatsApp in front. A clean schedule behind the scenes.
Pep Planner turns the existing store chat into structured planning input, then gives the manager a clear rota to review.
Ask for next week’s plan
The manager asks Pep Planner in WhatsApp to prepare the upcoming rota.
Gather messy details
Availability, swaps, sickness, preferences, and role coverage are collected from normal team coordination.
Review a clean rota
Pep Planner drafts the schedule, explains tradeoffs, flags conflicts, and posts a clean version for approval.
“I found cover for Tuesday afternoon. Anna can take 14–18 if Leo swaps Friday closing.”
Less planning admin. Calmer store weeks.
Save manager time
Spend less time chasing replies and rebuilding the rota after every change.
Catch conflicts early
See availability issues, open shifts, and coverage risks before the week starts.
Keep WhatsApp
Staff coordinate in the channel they already use instead of adopting another app on day one.
Build trust first
Start with one real schedule, validate the workflow, and only deepen the product where managers trust it.
Try it on one real weekly schedule.
Bring one upcoming rota, your current WhatsApp coordination, and the constraints your team cares about. Pep Planner helps produce a clean schedule and shows what saves time, what breaks, and what needs to be trusted before rollout.
Does the team need a new app?
No. The wedge is WhatsApp-native coordination. The structured schedule stays behind the scenes.
Is this payroll or time tracking?
No. Pep Planner starts with schedule planning and coordination, not payroll or compliance automation.
Who is it for first?
Fashion retail stores and small boutique chains where managers already coordinate shifts through WhatsApp.
What does the first pilot require?
One real or near-real weekly schedule, current constraints, and manager feedback on whether the proposed plan is trustworthy.
