The store left uncovered
And you find out after the shift is over, from store management's complaint.
All your operators, a single truth
Chains that depend on several external operators and their service providers for capacity on the store floor, in the warehouse and in dispatch, and that today request, control and measure them separately.

Where it starts
I've got ten operators, ten spreadsheets, and none of them match up.
How it's done today
Each operator gets the request by email, reports in its own format and invoices its own way. Coverage is known the next day, compliance is argued from memory and the real cost shows up at the end of the month.
Cost
What it costs you today
On one CyberDay, more shifts were requested in 3 days than in the whole previous week
Shifts requested per day during a 2026 CyberDay, as a multiple of the daily average for the previous 7 days (= 1): on the 3 days of the CyberDay, 2.7, 2.5 and 2.5 times that average, 2.6 on average, so in 3 days 109% of the whole previous week's volume was requested; on the 4 following days, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2 and 1.1 times. Data from one operator that uses the platform.

Shifts at midday and in the afternoon are less than half covered
Coverage of requested shifts by start time, September 2026: before 09:00, 63.5% (77.5% of shifts); 09:00 to 11:59, 82.1% (9.2%); 12:00 to 13:59, 46.6% (11.3%); 14:00 to 18:59, 11.4% (2.0%). No shifts started from 19:00 onwards.

Ten versions of the truth
Each operator measures by its own criteria. No spreadsheet can be added up with another, or compared with another.
People without up-to-date documents on your store floor
Someone got in who shouldn't have, and you only find out if something goes wrong.
Retail
Can you tell me today, with a data point and not an impression, which of your operators performs best? If the answer takes more than a minute, that's the gap.
Why
Every operator tells you the truth. The problem is that they're ten different truths.
It's not that they measure badly. It's that each one measures by its own rule, in its own format and at its own time. Without a common rule no comparison is possible, and without comparison there's no management: only blind negotiation.
| Today | With Druppify |
|---|---|
| A request by email to each operator | One request split among all of them |
| A different report format for each operator | One format, the same rule for everyone |
| Coverage known the next day | Live coverage by store and by role |
| Documents checked by sampling | Document validity before entering the store floor |
-
Request
The service request is created once and distributed among your approved operators: staff for the store floor, warehouse or dispatch, by store, by role and by shift.
-
Authorise
Your operators and their service providers come in with valid documents, verified only once. You know who can enter your store floor before they do.
-
Monitor
Live coverage by store and role, attendance, punctuality and incidents. The same rule for every operator, on the same screen.
-
Compare
A scorecard across operators and across service providers with the same criteria: coverage, punctuality, documents, incidents and actual cost against what was agreed.
-
Decide
With that evidence you reassign, renegotiate or put it out to tender. Tendering is a capability on the roadmap; the comparable data that makes it possible starts on day one.
-
The state of the shelf
An inventory robot moves through the store floor, detects the out-of-stock gap by position and the system dispatches the stocker. Detection and restocking in the same place. That's Druppify Sense.
Druppify Sense
The proof
What we can show you in the first meeting
They're already in
Your operators use the platform for reasons of their own. That's why the data exists without you having to ask them for it.
Nothing to install
We can show you a coverage report on your own operation before you buy.
A single rule
It's the only place where the request, the execution and the compliance are held to the same criteria for everyone.
Pricing
How we charge
Unit of value
The active store per month
With a tier based on how many operators you have connected. It's the unit you already understand and budget for.
Why we charge this way
It grows with the scope of your rollout, not with your operators' operating volume, which isn't your business. And we never charge on top of what you pay them.
What it's compared against
A store left uncovered on a peak day, and the cost of deciding blindly who you keep working with next year.
We never compare against other software. The price is compared against the cost of the error it prevents.
Rollout
How we start
- Scope
- One region, with two or three of your current operators.
- Timeframe
- A full quarter.
- Success criterion
- A single view of all of them, with the same rule.
The goal of the rollout isn't for your operators to work differently: it's for you to be able, for the first time, to look at all of them on the same screen and by the same criteria.
Frequently asked questions
No. The contract with them is still yours. Druppify gives them a single format to request, execute and report.
Not in its current form. It's an orchestrator of services provided by operators and service providers. Tendering is a capability on the roadmap.
The rollout starts with two or three of your operators. Once the common rule works with them, the rest join on their own.
The next step
Forty-five minutes, with your operation on the table
We start with the coverage report: with the data your operators already generate, we show you your own operation. It requires their authorisation, and we have that conversation before, not after.
