Challenge:
Reliance on overtime and temp labor, manual training admin, and fragmented onboarding were inflating costs and slowing ramp-up times.

How They Solved It:
Launched WorkForge in January 2025 and:

  • Reduced overtime by moving micro-module training into the workday—no pre/post-shift OT.
  • HRIS integration auto-enrolls new hires and assigns role-based training, saving time.
  • Streamlined tracking eliminates manual completion/skills tracking and cuts admin effort.
  • Eliminated temp coverage since employees train during work hours, not off-shift.

“We’re at 83% retention right now, and we have a waiting list for the second shift. If you’re in manufacturing, you know that’s not normal.”
