💡The biggest constraint in manufacturing was never the technology. It’s that labor was never built to flex.
Veryable was founded on a hard truth our co-founders saw firsthand across plants, shop floors, and hundreds of consulting engagements:
Every operational problem traced back to one constraint: labor. And as long as it behaves like a fixed cost, no advanced tool, whether AI or robotics, can reach its full potential.
So we built the first on-demand labor marketplace purpose-built for manufacturing and logistics. Not as a staffing alternative, but as an operational tool.
By solving the labor constraint first, companies unlock the ability to:
✅ Match labor to demand in real time
✅ Attack bottlenecks the moment they appear
✅ Protect full-time teams from OT and burnout
✅ Scale output without adding fixed cost
✅ Make reshored production economically viable
The mission hasn’t changed since day one:
Remove the labor constraint so companies operate at full potential, and give workers the freedom to participate on their own terms.

⏳ A missed order. A production line needed over the weekend. A Monday shipping deadline.
And the person who had to solve it was 1,000+ miles away.
Within hours, Scentsational used Veryable's on-demand labor marketplace to post the work, handpick trusted operators from its labor pool, and build the weekend roster remotely.
By Monday morning, the order was en route and the customer's trust was fully intact.
That's what labor flexibility looks like in practice.

🛠️ Waiting for someone to sell you “AI” off the shelf? You could be beaten by the companies building it themselves.
In this week’s episode of US Manufacturing Today, powered by @veryableops, host @Matt_Horine speaks with Jakib co-founder and CEO Andy Jenks, who explains how AI has made custom software cheap enough to build, which he calls a build-software revolution, not a buy-software one.
In the full episode:
✅ Why a 2021 AI demo changed Jenks' thinking about what was possible
✅ How Jakib started almost by accident while looking for companies already using AI
✅ What forward-deployed engineers actually do in their first few weeks on site
✅ What smaller manufacturers can take from reshoring stories, and whether software is the capacity unlock

The prep window before BFCM is closing fast. Read our step-by-step breakdown on building your bench before the Q4 chaos starts:
https://t.co/OkGrZB8aM5
🚨 BFCM is just weeks away, and solving for extra volume after spikes hit your floor is a recipe for shipping delays and forced overtime that inflates costs and burns out your best.
That’s why the time to build flexible capacity into your operation is now.
Building an On-Demand Labor Pool gives you a sideline bench of workers ready to flex in on short notice when orders surge, without adding fixed headcount that lingers when volume drops.
That's how you protect your on-time delivery, your margins, and your core team.

Your best people appreciate the chance to make extra money during the holidays. The problem starts when optional overtime turns into 20+ mandatory extra hours week after week.
At that point, you aren't just burning out your people. Quality slips, shipments lag, and your reputation takes the hit.
ShineOn was in this exact boat, relying on a punishing cycle of overtime week after week just to keep pace with Q4 volume spikes.
So they changed their approach and integrated Veryable to flex floor capacity in line with daily workload. On-demand labor absorbed the surges, allowing FTEs to keep a predictable schedule.
The result? Q4 overtime costs crashed by 90%. FTEs stayed rested and productive. And they maintained the exact quality and service their customers expect.

Your seasonal hires may be in place, but BFCM can still bring more orders than you planned for. How do you cover that extra volume without waiting days on a temp agency or driving up overtime?
That’s where an On-Demand Labor Pool changes the equation.
When volume spikes, deploy vetted Operators with just hours of notice to protect your shipping cutoffs. Then when it slows, scale back just as fast so your labor spend tracks actual output.

Reindustrialization is a generational opportunity to rebuild the industrial strength that underpins our national security and economic resilience, but it requires more than building new factories.
Long-term success will depend on modernizing operations for a faster, more demanding market while eliminating the trade-off between speed and cost.
This clip from our MFG Day 2026 film shows how Veryable’s connected platform gives manufacturers the tools needed to do exactly that.
Visit our MFG Day page to catch the rest of the film and see how these capabilities work in practice: https://t.co/iUn6BJ1RN9

When the true magnitude of daily order volume stays unknown until three in the afternoon, planning labor weeks ahead is pure guesswork.
That was the challenge facing The Folde across their 24-hour laundry operations, where fixed schedules routinely fell short and forced managers to fold laundry at 3 AM.
So they took a different approach and built a flexible labor pool through Veryable. Now, supervisors wait until midday to see the exact workload, then pull in trusted on-demand operators on a same-day basis.
The result? Headcount matches real-time volume down to the hour, turnaround times stay on track, and the 3 AM folding marathons are gone.

When your welders, machinists, and technicians spend hours of each shift on prep work, part checks, and material movement, you don't have a specialist shortage.
You have a labor allocation problem that another hire won’t fix.
Manufacturers are using Veryable’s on-demand labor platform to solve this:
✅ A metal fabricator uses Operators for grinding and sanding, keeping skilled welders focused on welding
✅ A precision machine shop separates recurring part checks from machining, allowing machinists to spend more hours producing parts
✅ A metal stamping manufacturer uses Operators for temporary launch inspections, keeping experienced press operators focused on critical production
See how these operations put the model into practice, and how to apply the approach in your own operation.

How do you work down a 2,200+ hour backlog without adding permanent headcount or burning out your core team with overtime?
A Northeast Ohio induction heat treating company faced that exact challenge after equipment problems disrupted production and on-time delivery began to slip.
But restoring equipment was only half the battle.
Running more machines to catch up caused parts to pile up waiting to be packed or moved, shifting the bottleneck from work area to work area depending on the day's schedule.
By using an on-demand labor pool to absorb those shifting daily needs, management brought the backlog under 700 hours in three months without increasing fixed overhead or forcing relentless seven-day workweeks.

Walking in to find third shift got hit with a surprise order addition forces a brutal trade-off: mandate overtime on a tired crew or take the hit on delivery dates.
United Plastics Group ran into that exact problem across its 24/5 injection molding operations, where unexpected volume spikes repeatedly threatened production schedules.
But instead of swallowing overtime costs or burning out their core team, they built a flexible labor pool through Veryable. When volume surges, supervisors post work directly to their labor pool, securing coverage in hours with operators who already know the facility.
The result? Short-notice production surges are met on schedule, and the core team avoids burnout.

When equipment problems pushed production backlog past 2,200 hours, former plant manager Jerry Sutphin found that getting machines running again was only part of the recovery.
As equipment came back online, throughput kept hitting new constraints, shifting between machine operation, finished-goods packing, and material handling. But traditional hiring was too slow to bridge the gap and meant taking on permanent overhead for a temporary need, while leaning further on overtime would put more strain on the existing team.
In our latest article, Jerry breaks down how on-demand labor gave his team the ability to flex labor day by day, supporting a recovery to fewer than 700 backlog hours in approximately three months.

When experience on your exact machine or process is the price of entry, you depend on competitors to develop the talent you need.
Capable people who could learn the work get shut out, and positions stay open while you wait for someone already trained.
Manufacturers using Veryable are developing that talent right on their own floors:
✅ A food manufacturer trained 75 forklift Operators in a talent-scarce rural community, eliminating a major backlog and reducing OT by 35%
✅ A thermoforming manufacturer recognized technical potential in an Operator brought in for packing work and developed him to perform entire mold changeovers
✅ A precision equipment manufacturer brought an Operator in for assembly work and developed him to take on materials planning within a few months
See how these operations used Veryable to develop the talent they needed and how yours can put the same approach into practice

Pulling your core team off the presses for a sudden quality sort hits you twice: primary production loses momentum, and overtime spikes to catch up.
Metal Flow Corporation ran into that exact bottleneck across its automotive stamping operations, where volume swings and short-timeline quality projects repeatedly threatened regular production.
But instead of staffing for peak volume and carrying the cost through slower weeks, they built a flexible labor pool through Veryable equal to 10 to 15 percent of their workforce. Supervisors scale capacity up and down day-by-day, bringing back familiar operators for press support and quality checks as workload shifts.
The result? Short-term inspection demands are met on schedule, regular production runs without disruption, and labor spend tracks directly to actual demand.

‼️ ICYMI: Last week, we released our MFG Day 2026 film, “Powering the Next Era of American Manufacturing.”
Reindustrialization is a massive opportunity to rebuild the industrial strength that ensures our national security and economic resilience, but it requires more than just opening new facilities.
Long-term success will depend on modernizing operations for a faster, more demanding market while developing the people who will run and improve them for decades to come.

Forcing mandatory 6-day weeks and pulling managers onto the floor to build pallets might get trucks loaded tonight, but it’s a quick way to burn through your best people.
Gold Coast Eagle was stuck in that exact cycle. And even with everyone pitching in, trucks still weren't leaving on time.
So shift leads brought in Veryable operators to handle order building, curating a reliable sideline bench they could scale up or down daily as volume dictated.
The result? Trucks rolling out early, no more forced 6-day workweeks, and managers back to running the floor.
