- Success metric

The problem
Supervisors and production managers who lose hours covering absences spend time on work a system could do. This is what it costs today.
- Employee no-shows 2-5x per week across your facility
- Supervisors spend 1-2 hours calling around for coverage
- Production delays, unplanned overtime, stressed teams
- Missed production targets every time it happens

What the automation does
This AI-powered automation module connects to your existing systems, does the repetitive work, and leaves decisions with your team.
- Real-time detection when an employee doesn't clock in
- Auto-calls backup staff from internal roster + staffing agencies
- Books first available person, sends SMS confirmation
- Supervisor notified when coverage is secured, no manual work
Prerequisites and limits
These systems and data need to be in place. If they are not, the assessment shows what infrastructure comes first, before you commit to a pilot.
- Electronic time clock with API (Kronos, ADP, Paylocity, or similar)
- Supervisor company phones for SMS notifications
- Staffing agency relationships (or we help set up)
How success is measured
We agree the baseline and the success metric in writing before the pilot starts, then measure from your system data with weekly reports. If the agreed metric is not hit at 90 days, you get a full refund.
