Many organizations are now entering the “hyperdatification” stage, where the constraint is making a wealth of data useful enough to guide real-time decision

The modern warehouse generates enormous volumes of operational data, yet most organizations still struggle to answer foundational questions about labor performance, workflow efficiency and cost drivers. The issue is the fragmentation of that information across platforms and interfaces that were never designed to work together.

As a tech entrepreneur, Dan Keto has a history of creating innovative companies in the logistics and labor management space. Today, he serves as president and chief technology officer of one of those companies, Easy Metrics, a provider of labor management software. Keto is a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and holds an executive degree from the Harvard Business School. During his naval career, he served with the National Security Agency as a Russian linguist and cryptologic officer.

Warehouse and distribution executives are using data-driven agility to manage disruption, strengthen performance, and drive growth in an increasingly volatile supply chain environment, according to research revealed by Easy Metrics.

The supply chain of tomorrow is being built today by companies that aren’t just talking about innovation, they’re proving its impact in real operations. This year’s NextGen Supply Chain Conference Solution Provider Awards highlight three technology providers who are transforming how global trade, logistics, and warehousing get done.

Software that helps organizations manage their workforces, labor management systems (LMS) are used to orchestrate schedules, track time and attendance records, and generate workforce productivity reports. Used by businesses of all sizes—and across most industries—LMS is especially useful for those that have complex, large workforces

We’re in an era where any tool proven to help an organization get more out of its labor force is in high demand. As organizations fight over a shrinking pool of available workers, the need for such tools has only grown.

Today’s warehouse operators are moving a much higher volume of smaller orders faster than ever, continuously seeking ways to automate their processes, and searching for tools that will help them best utilize both labor and physical space.

Managing labor has never been an easy task. In the months leading up to the COVID-19 outbreak, U.S. companies were dealing with persistent, historically-low national unemployment rates hanging in the 3.5% range. Warehouses, distribution centers (DCs), and logistics providers were feeling the pinch of the labor shortage as their businesses expanded right along with the economy.

Long considered the go-to software platform for companies that wanted to use engineering standards to track workforce productivity, labor management systems (LMS) have found a new home in today’s tight labor market. Instead of asking industrial engineers to pore over the employee activity data and report on productivity levels generated by the LMS, the software helps companies better understand labor costs, evaluate work processes and make more informed staffing decisions.

As labor continues to hold its spot as one of the most expensive aspects of running a logistics and supply chain operation, the current labor crunch is making a costly endeavor even more difficult.

“Businesses have an abundance of data streams, but nobody seems to know what to do with them,” said Dorcas in a release. “When these data are fed through Easy Metrics, they reveal which employees are top performers, which are low performers, and how much it costs to complete various tasks.” He added that the tool, which is being used by several Fortune 500 companies, helps businesses define where they are making and losing money.
