BOSTON, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Covalent, a leader in workforce operations
software for the manufacturing sector, announced the official
launch of its latest solution, Intelligent Work Allocation (IWA).
Built upon extensive industry research, IWA leverages machine
learning to optimize how frontline leaders conduct workforce
assignment processes.
Addressing Critical Industry Challenges
In today's fast-paced manufacturing environment, frontline
leaders face a myriad of challenges when it comes to aligning
workforce resources with production demands in real-time. Worker
absenteeism and fluctuating product demand make assigning jobs
during a shift even more complex. In many cases, using only tacit
knowledge to decide "who should work where" leads to significant
productivity loss and increased labor costs.
Introducing Intelligent Work Allocation
IWA represents a paradigm shift in workforce optimization,
leveraging Covalent's unique dataset on worker capabilities and
proprietary machine-learning models. This groundbreaking solution
empowers frontline leaders to make data-driven task assignment
decisions with confidence, while reducing the administrative burden
of job performance tracking.
Proven Impact and Market Readiness
After trials in 2023 with select customers, IWA has already
demonstrated impressive results. Clients have reported up to a 12%
increase in efficiency and a 35% reduction in time spent on shift
management. With these promising outcomes, IWA is positioned to
upgrade a critical business process for the industry.
Voices from the Helm
"Our commitment is to deliver top-tier workforce solutions
through high-fidelity data, and IWA aligns perfectly with this
vision," says Andrew Knez, CEO of
Covalent. "This represents a significant advancement in our mission
to empower our frontline users and help our customers achieve
operational excellence."
Yogi Rana, VP of Product, adds, "IWA places worker capability at
the heart of operational decisions, allowing manufacturers to
unlock the full potential of their workforce. This is a testament
to our ongoing commitment to innovation and customer success."
An Operations Manager leveraging the tool, shares, "IWA changes
the way we approach worker assignment. It is intuitive, and has
features that reduce pre-shift pressures for our supervisors,
resulting in more successful shifts."
