As a customer-focused, innovative food solutions company, our teams are always looking at ways to create solutions that improve efficiency in our stores. Over the past few months, our SpartanNash retail stores transitioned to Logile, Inc. – a new time and attendance system that automates work schedules for Associates and leaders. Mastering precise staffing will allow our Associates to spend more time engaging with store guests, which will create an improved store experience. As a result of the success of this project rollout, we are excited to share that we were honored with the Implementation of the Year Award from Logile. This award showcases the effectiveness of the work done by so many Associates. Congratulations to everyone involved! ???? #SpartanNash #PeopleFirst #WeWin #Retail
