Your Priorities & Objectives
As a director or general/senior manager, your responsibility is to translate high-level business strategy into an operational plan that your team can execute with precision. In the fast-paced reality of running day-to-day operations, it’s easy to lose focus—urgent problems, shifting priorities, and short-term demands can easily pull attention away from long-term objectives. Bridging the gap between forecasted plans and real-time conditions is a constant challenge, and every decision you make in that balance has ripple effects across the entire organization. The key to sustaining progress on your operational strategy while managing these pressures is agility—the ability to adapt quickly and effectively to whatever challenges arise.
Before identifying the right solution, it’s essential to understand the operational and financial KPIs that define success in your role. These metrics reveal how well your organization is serving customers, managing costs, and executing against strategic goals.
Financial KPIs:
These KPI's measure how effectively you’re converting resources into value. They include key metrics such as:
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Operating Expenses
- Labor Productivity
- Production Efficiency:
- Profit Margins:
Operational KPIs
These KPI's gauge the health and responsiveness of your operation. How well you serve customers determines how quickly you can grow sales, and how well you run your operation determines how efficiently you manage costs. Improving either drives better financial results, and improving both creates a competitive advantage. Core metrics include:
- On-Time Delivery (OTD)
- Cost Per Unit
- Lead Time
- Cycle Time
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
The Veryable Solution
On-Demand Labor Marketplace
Labor drives every aspect of operational performance, and mismatches in staffing can quickly disrupt throughput and service levels. Veryable’s On-Demand Labor Marketplace empowers operations teams to build a flexible pool of pre-vetted operators who can scale up or down in real time based on actual daily demand. This flexibility gives your facility the agility to cover peaks, prevent bottlenecks, and reduce overtime costs—all while keeping your core employees from being overextended. By aligning headcount precisely with workload, you can maintain smoother operations, more consistent productivity, and better cost control across every shift.
Workforce Management Platform
Veryable’s Workforce Management (WFM) platform brings together data from ERP, WMS, MES, HRIS, and other operational systems into a single, unified view of your operation. By linking labor allocation directly to real-time production and throughput metrics, WFM eliminates guesswork and manual scheduling, enabling your team to deploy labor efficiently across shifts and work centers. Automated scheduling and integrated access to the On-Demand Labor Marketplace ensure that you meet demand without overstaffing or overworking employees. Real-time dashboards provide instant visibility into throughput, labor cost per unit, and team performance, giving you the insight needed to make fast, data-driven decisions that improve both productivity and cost efficiency.
How They Work Together
Together, the WFM platform and On-Demand Labor Marketplace give operations leaders complete control and flexibility over their workforce. WFM identifies capacity gaps and demand fluctuations, while the Marketplace instantly fills those gaps with qualified operators. The result is a workforce that’s responsive, cost-efficient, and capable of maintaining high service levels, even during periods of unpredictable demand or unexpected disruptions.

What Operations Leaders Are Saying
“During our morning production meetings, we look at orders with the most immediate due date first…if I see that we’re at risk of getting behind, I log on to the Veryable platform, post Ops to my labor pool, and have those operators in the next morning. The speed at which I can respond to changes in demand allows me to be proactive rather than reactive with my labor planning.”
Chuck Cairatti
Director of Operations, DNI Corp
"I think it's been wonderful for us because I'm able to get the throughput I need by expanding the numbers or contracting the numbers based on what the need is. It really gives me a sense of confidence."
Amy Robertson
Director of Manufacturing, Feniex
"Where before, we were having a hard time getting everything done and getting the trucks out on time, now we're getting them out not only on time, but early ... and some nights, very early. It's been a huge difference.”
Steve MacMunn
Operations Manager, Gold Coast Eagle Distributing
"Everything, you know, is cost per order, and we are able to keep that as minimal as we can with Veryable. With the peaks and valleys that we do see, we see a lot more valleys than we do peaks, and it's very fast and very short durations of them. So being able to kind of throttle that headcount here has been just tremendous as far as savings."
Wilson Duke
Warehouse Director, Made In Cookware
“Distribution Management has made significant investments in technology to support our same-day fulfillment strategy. Coupled with Veryable’s on-demand Marketplace, it allows us to solve for real-time capacity gaps that support our 99.98% on-time SLA."
Alex McCoy
Supply Chain Director, Distribution Management
"We can have people come in and do criteria checks. So we just teach them to use a couple of tools and show them what they need to measure. And that takes a lot of the weight off of our skilled full time employees... If they don't have to stop and do criteria checks on every part that comes out, then they're able to produce more parts in the machine."
Mickey Raynoha
Manager, Mack Tool & Engineering
