Your Priorities & Objectives
As an HR leader, you're tasked with maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the human capital that exists within your company. You need to ensure you have enough labor to meet operational demands without overstaffing and wasting resources. You also need to make sure that workers are satisfied and engaged. In the manufacturing and distribution space with so many external factors at play, this can be exceptionally challenging.
Some of the top challenges facing HR leaders include:
- Labor Shortages: With nearly a quarter of the skilled worker base approaching retirement age over the next decade, HR leaders must find ways to replenish the human capital needed by manufacturers and distributors. Otherwise it will be difficult to survive, much less grow in this highly competitive landscape.
- Turnover and Attrition: Many HR departments struggle with retaining highly skilled workers, and given the already substantial labor shortages and difficulties in talent acquisition, minimizing attrition is absolutely critical. The advancing average age of the manufacturing workforce only further compounds turnover.
- Low Employee Engagement: The constant and unpredictable shifts in demand most manufacturers and distributors experience results in inconsistent scheduling, pressure to work overtime, and the pressure not to use PTO because the facility is running behind. These are all things that hurt employee engagement and will grind employees down until they quit. Furthermore when higher skilled employees have to spend their time focusing on non-value added tasks, this also decreases engagement and increases the likelihood that they'll jump ship.
Failure to properly address these challenges can severely limit the potential success of the business, and without having the tools, resources, or time needed to do the job, these issues will only grow in magnitude.
The Veryable Solution
Veryable’s On-Demand Labor Marketplace
Managing labor while keeping employees engaged and avoiding burnout is a top HR priority. Veryable’s On-Demand Labor Marketplace gives you access to a flexible pool of pre-vetted operators who can fill gaps quickly. This helps prevent overwork, maintain morale, and reduce turnover while ensuring coverage during peak periods or unexpected absences. Over time, repeated engagements help create a trusted, scalable labor pool that acts as an extension of your core workforce.
Veryable's Workforce Management Tool (WFM)
Veryable’s WFM platform centralizes workforce data from ERP, WMS, MES, HRIS, and other systems into a single source of truth. It automates scheduling, shift management, and PTO tracking while giving employees transparency into their schedules and the ability to swap shifts. Real-time dashboards provide HR leaders with visibility into attendance, productivity, labor costs, and engagement metrics. This enables proactive decision-making around staffing, performance management, and employee development.
How They Work Together
When WFM identifies labor gaps or potential overload on the core team, Veryable's On-Demand Labor Marketplace allows HR and operations to fill those gaps without straining permanent employees. This integrated approach ensures compliance, protects morale, reduces turnover, and allows HR to strategically manage the workforce while supporting operational goals.

Manage Your Workforce From One Single Tool
*By integrating directly with your existing HRIS and WMS, our Workforce Management tool creates a centralized hub for unified collaboration where cross-functional users can find data on anything from quantity of processed units by product all the way to employee clock-in and out times.
Quickly Find Skilled and Vetted Workers
* With access to thousands of skilled and vetted local workers at the click of a button, you can find workers today to meet your operational needs tomorrow and you won't have to spend weeks going through the process of direct hiring or sourcing through a staffing agency.
* The digital resume for each operator on the platform and the nature of the rating and review system gives you more insight about a worker than a traditional resume would.
Improve FTE Retention & Morale
* With the ability to bring in additional workers as needed, your full-time employees will have more predictability in their schedules with less overtime. They'll also be able to use their PTO without feeling like they're putting the whole facility behind and giving their coworkers more to do.
Maximize Productivity
* If you look at a skilled workers day, you will find that they spend a good chunk of the day not performing skilled work. Bringing in supplemental on-demand labor to assist with non-value added tasks frees up capacity for these skilled workers to focus on their main objectives and get more done.
Live Resume Feature
Every operator on Veryable’s On-Demand Marketplace has a live resume showcasing a rating out of 5 stars based on attitude, safety, and quality, a reliability score based on attendance history, skills and experience across various work areas, and relevant certifications like OSHA Forklift or NIMS certified Machinist. This transparency helps you quickly identify qualified, dependable workers ready to hit the ground running.
ShiftWorks Mobile App
ShiftWorks is an all-in-one mobile app that gives your frontline team instant access to schedules, shift changes, and absence reporting—eliminating outdated processes and last-minute chaos. Designed to streamline communication and boost engagement, ShiftWorks keeps your team connected and every shift running smoothly, no matter what challenges arise.
Streamlined Communication with WFM
WFM replaces scattered texts, calls, and notes with built-in messaging to keep your team on the same page. Instantly notify workers of schedule changes, broadcast shift updates, and offer VTO or VTI opportunities—all from one centralized platform. This helps you reduce confusion, seamlessly handle last-minute changes, and maintain operational continuity.
