💡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.

By now, most beverage distributors already have their summer workforce in place. Seasonal teams are onboarded, schedules are built, and the operation looks ready. But peak season won't follow the plan. Heat waves, holiday compression, retailer promotions, route variability, and sudden replenishment spikes will hit faster than a fixed workforce can adjust. ❌ Trucks roll late ❌ Supervisors run picks ❌ Overtime climbs week after week That's where on-demand labor changes the equation. Our latest article explores: 🔹 Why summer volume never moves as cleanly as the plan 🔹 How overtime and fatigue compound across the summer 🔹 The limitations of relying on seasonal hiring and temp staffing 🔹 Why operations with flexible labor capacity outperform the competition 📖 Read it here👇 veryableops.com/blog/on-demand… 💡 Learn more about on-demand labor for peak season: veryableops.com/peak-season-la…

American industry is America’s strength.

Good morning America! Do great work today 🇺🇸

American-made and powering the the frontlines. rebuildmanufacturing.com/newsroom/blogs…

American's don't live for comfort. We live for purpose. Remember your heritage! 🇺🇸

@CaterpillarInc is spending $725M to expand its Lafayette, Indiana facility. And they named workforce development - not floor space - as the primary strategic lever. You can build the facility faster than you can staff it. The gap between commissioning a line and running it is measured in labor. @veryableops via @ManufactureDive 🔗 manufacturingdive.com/news/can-resho…

Notice that the Midwest and Southeast are surging, while the Westcoast hasn’t kept up. You are see a live look at American reindustrialization.

The reshoring evaluation phase is over. Execution has begun. 26% of U.S. companies are now formally executing reshoring initiatives - up from 10% in September 2025. Tariff citations as a reshoring driver are up 454% YoY. Plants coming online now need labor before full-time crews are ready. @veryableops #Reindustrialize via @ManufactureDive 🔗 manufacturingdive.com/news/tariffs-u…

America's largest military shipbuilder isn't waiting for new yards. It's pushing work out NOW. @WeAreHII is outsourcing 2.5M hours of shipbuilding labor across 11 states in 2026 - up 30% from last year. Aircraft carriers. Destroyers. Submarines. Built in Michigan, Texas, Louisiana, S. Carolina. Surge work landing in facilities that weren't built for it = flexible labor demand. @veryableops #Reindustrialize 🔗 globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

The @USNavy just dropped its most ambitious shipbuilding plan in a generation. 19 ships this year. $26B authorized. $65.8B requested for FY2027 - double the ships. And the plan is explicit: "Every state in the nation has a role." New production relationships across the heartland = variable labor demand for years. @veryableops #Reindustrialize 🔗 news.usni.org/2026/05/11/u-s…

🔥Episode 57 is Now Live! In this latest episode, brought to you by @veryableops, @Matt_Horine speaks with A.W. Schultz, Founder of AW Schultz Training and Industrial Transformation, about the shift from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 — and why the next era of manufacturing belongs to leaders who pair technology with the people who run the floor. The conversation explores why so many digital investments underperform, what Industry 5.0 actually requires, and how leadership, adaptive work management, and maintenance strategy decide whether transformation sticks. What you'll learn: ✅ Why 32% of industrial digital investments still miss expectations ✅ How Industry 5.0 rebalances 4.0 around resiliency, sustainability, and people ✅ Why cookie-cutter change management fails — and what adaptive work management does instead ✅ How to match maintenance strategy to asset criticality and supply realities ✅ What real transformation sounds like on the shop floor — and why leadership is the bottleneck 🎧 Listen now: 👉 Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s… 👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4ULcl0… 👉 YouTube: youtu.be/HkSqo55538w?si…

Rogue Factory Update: Pepper and Trucco team are making headway on the first leg of construction. Next step we will begin foundation and enclosing the new building. The new section of the 1 million square foot building main function will be our laser cutting operation. Later in the year we will move and install 8X Trumpf tube lasers, 6X 24K Trumpf flat lasers and all the peripheral metal working automation. Processing capacity north of 250,000 LBS of steel per day. #ryourogue #realfactory

Mill restarts and plate mill expansions represent some of the most labor-intensive ramp scenarios in manufacturing. This is exactly the profile where on-demand Operators absorb the ramp without disrupting the existing crew. US Steel just restarted its Gary, Indiana Tin Mill — 225 jobs back online after 4 years dark. Tariff enforcement changed the math. Nucor adding $280M in Alabama. Domestic steel is ramping. @veryableops #Reindustrialize 🔗 whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/…

$1.662 trillion. 131 companies. 32 states. That's the current U.S. manufacturing investment tracker and it's still climbing. $AAPL . $MU . $TSM . $JNJ . As these facilities ramp across 32 states, the gap between announced headcount and operational need creates exactly the variable demand environment where a labor marketplace can value. @Veryable #Reindustrialize 🔗 industrialsage.com/us-manufacturi…

When your largest volume categories face simultaneous demand compression from two directions - behavioral (GLP-1) and policy (SNAP) - the pressure to reformulate, right-size production runs, and cut fixed costs accelerates. Food and beverage manufacturers in affected markets will be rationalizing lines and shifting SKU mix faster than their headcount plans anticipated. The restrictions, implemented under the MAHA initiative, took effect for the first wave of states on January 1, 2026, with Texas and Florida going live in April. Combined, the bans affect roughly 14 million SNAP recipients. This compounds an already GLP-1-driven demand shift: PepsiCo has already cut prices on Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos by up to 15% and is piloting mini-meal formats under its Sabra and Siete brands. EY-Parthenon estimates GLP-1 adoption alone could eliminate up to $12 billion in snack sales over the next decade. Add SNAP reform on top, and the structural headwind for Big Food's core product lines is no longer theoretical. That's a @veryableops conversation. 🔗 newsweek.com/snap-benefit-m…

Workforce shortages aren't just a company-level problem. In manufacturing-heavy regions, they're a community-level constraint on growth. That's the reality in Wabash County, Indiana, where local manufacturers produce food products, water systems, medical equipment, agricultural goods, and every bottle of 5-hour Energy consumed worldwide. Demand is strong. The challenge is workforce availability. Experienced workers are aging out. Younger ones want flexibility traditional hiring can't offer. The math no longer works. That's why @GrowWabashCo, the region's combined Chamber of Commerce and economic development organization, partnered with Veryable. The result is a workforce model that works for everyone: ✅ Retirees stay engaged without forfeiting retirement benefits ✅ Younger workers earn income around school and family schedules ✅ Manufacturers protect production without increasing fixed cost exposure ✅ The regional economy gains a more adaptable labor pool When workforce flexibility becomes a community strategy, manufacturing stays competitive.
