Like other companies in the logistics industry, Distribution Management experiences spikes in demand, operational bottlenecks, and employee callouts. Instead of complaining about missing targets or paying unnecessary expenses because of these common challenges, they’re applying solutions to what they can control and meeting their SLAs. “Distribution Management has made significant investments in technology to support our same-day fulfillment strategy,” said Alex McCoy, Supply Chain Director at Distribution Management. “Coupled with Veryable’s on-demand Marketplace, it allows us to solve for real-time capacity gaps that support our 99.98% on-time SLA.”
The Operators’ Club needed a breaker box as soon as possible, but they could not find a company to produce a box sooner than 120 days. They turned to Veryable and used their vast network of Preferred Businesses in their Credential Program to have a box delivered to them within a week!
Diligent’s drive to maximize value for their clients is perfectly aligned with the goals of the Veryable Credential Program. With a fully-built labor pool, Diligent has been able to curate the precise number of operators, exactly when they are needed, to get work done without any wasted time or effort.

You might wonder what does on-demand labor have to do with supplier sourcing? On-demand labor is a path to supplier development and cultivating competition by exploiting it to allow a new market entrant a chance to meet the needed service levels.
