The Problem

Labor is 65% of warehouse operating costs. Productivity varies 3–5x between workers with no visibility. Overstaffing on slow days wastes 15–20% of labor budget. Understaffing causes overtime at 1.5x rates. No data exists to coach underperformers or reward top workers.

The Solution

Warehouse labor management platform that tracks individual productivity (picks, packs, loads per hour), forecasts labor needs based on order forecasts, and optimizes task assignments to balance workloads across the team.
