On-demand labor for operations that cannot stall
Anyone can send
you workers.
We send you coverage.
Staffing agencies sell you access to a list and wish you luck. ManPlan commits to the outcome — the right headcount, credentialed for your site, checked in on time, with every hour verified before it ever reaches an invoice.
No contracts. No minimums. You approve the crew before anyone arrives.

The real cost of a no-show
A missing crew is never
just a missing crew.
At 6:00 a.m. you are three people short. The trailers are still coming. The cutoff has not moved. Your supervisor is now running a pick line instead of running the floor, and the customer who was promised same-day is about to hear otherwise.
The old model is built to survive this, not to prevent it.
“I do not need more resumes. I need to know the shift is covered.”
- 01
You are calling and texting a coordinator who cannot tell you who is actually coming.
- 02
Quality resets every shift. The forklift operator who was great on Tuesday is replaced by someone who has never touched your equipment.
- 03
Invoices arrive weeks later, bundled and unreadable, and reconciling them against your own timekeeping is a manual argument.
- 04
Industry markups routinely land somewhere between 13 and 40 percent on top of the wage, and almost none of that is itemized for you.1
You are not paying for labor.
You are paying for opacity.
1. Markup range is a category-level estimate for contingent labor; source cited in the footnotes.
Request to invoice, in one system
Four steps.
No phone tag.
- 01
Post the shift
Role, headcount, site, start and end time, required credentials, dress code, and gate instructions. Save it as a template and reuse it every week.
- 02
We assemble the crew
Matching prioritizes workers with verified credentials for the role, a track record at sites like yours, and a reliability history — not whoever answers first. You see names, credentials, and reliability signals before shift start and can decline anyone.
- 03
Verified check-in on site
Workers check in from their phone with GPS confirmation at your geofence. You watch arrivals populate in real time and get an alert the moment a slot looks at risk, with a replacement already being sourced.
- 04
Approve hours, get one clean invoice
Hours are captured at the source, surfaced for your approval, and rolled into a single tax-compliant invoice with wage, fee, and taxes shown as separate lines. What you approve is what you pay. Nothing else.
What you approve is what you pay. Nothing else.
One platform, many floors
Built for the shifts
that have to happen today.
Warehouse and 3PL
Peak season, trailer surges, inventory counts, and cold-chain coverage. Sites that live or die by dock schedule and cutoff times.
Common roles
- General warehouse associate
- Forklift operator (sit-down, reach, cherry picker)
- Scanner and RF-trained picker
- Cold storage specialist
- Loader and unloader
- Inventory counter
Typical requirements we gate on
- Forklift certification
- RF scanner experience
- Steel-toe PPE
- Freezer-rated gear
If your labor need moves with volume rather than with headcount planning, ManPlan is built for you.
Who actually shows up
Vetted for the role,
not just added to a list.
Credential gating
Certifications such as forklift operation, food handling, and site safety cards are uploaded, verified, and tracked with expiration dates. An expired card automatically removes the worker from eligibility for that role. You never have to check.
Reliability history
Every worker carries a record built from real behavior across the platform: on-time arrivals, completed shifts, late cancellations, and site ratings. Reliability drives who gets offered your shift first.
Site fit
Cold storage, high-noise, PPE-required, and heavy-lift environments are treated as distinct requirements, not footnotes. Workers are matched to conditions they have already worked in.
Your preferred crew
Rate workers after every shift. Add the strong ones to your preferred list and they get first offer on your future shifts. Block anyone you do not want back, permanently, with one tap.
The difference is structural
We changed what
you are actually buying.
| Dimension | Traditional staffing agency | ManPlan |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Access to a list | Coverage of a shift |
| Visibility before the shift | A promise on the phone | Named crew, credentials, reliability history |
| Attendance tracking | Paper sheets or the honor system | GPS-verified check-in and check-out |
| Fill risk | You find out at 6 a.m. | At-risk alerts and backfill before start time |
| Invoicing | Bundled, delayed, unitemized | Itemized by worker and hour, approved by you |
| Markup | Commonly 13–40 percent, rarely disclosed | Published, itemized on every invoice |
| Compliance | Your problem to verify | Classification, tax documents, and credential expiry handled in-platform |
Four commitments we will put in writing
- 01
Transparent economics
You see the worker's wage and our fee as separate lines. If you are paying a premium, you can see exactly what it buys.
- 02
Verified hours only
Hours come from GPS-confirmed check-in and check-out, not a handwritten sheet passed back through a coordinator. Disputes get resolved with data, usually in minutes.
- 03
Compliance handled at the source
Worker classification, tax documentation, and credential validity are managed inside the platform. Your invoice arrives audit-ready.
- 04
Escalation with a name attached
Every account has a real person accountable for coverage. When a shift is at risk, you get told before you notice it yourself.
Different jobs, different stakes
The people who feel it first.
Your day is decided before 7 a.m. ManPlan gives you the roster on your phone the night before, live arrival tracking as the shift starts, and a backfill already moving when someone falls through. You stop being a dispatcher and go back to running the operation.
Work on your terms
Pick your shifts.
Know your pay.
Get paid fast.
ManPlan is not a queue you sit in waiting for a call. Open the app, see real shifts near you with the pay rate stated up front, and claim the ones that fit your week.
Pay you can see before you accept
Every shift lists the hourly rate, total hours, location, and what the job actually involves. No vague offers, no rate that changes after the shift.
Fast payment
Hours are verified at check-out and payment is processed on a published schedule. No chasing a coordinator for a check that never came.
Your reliability follows you
Show up, do the work, get rated. A strong record puts you at the front of the line for better shifts, preferred-crew status with the sites you like, and higher-paying roles.
Grow into better-paid work
Upload your forklift certification, food handler card, or safety credential once. We verify it and unlock the roles that pay for it. No certification yet? We will show you which ones unlock the most work in your area.
Real flexibility
Work Monday and Thursday. Work six days. Work only cold storage, or only nights. Nobody schedules you against your will.
Straight talk
We expect you to show up on time and finish the shift you claimed. Sites see your record. Reliability is the whole product — for them and for you.
Check in from your phone. Hours verified at check-out. Payment processed on a published schedule.
Start with one shift
Your next shift gap is
already on the calendar.
Post one shift. Watch it fill. Approve the hours. Decide from there — no contract, no minimum, no procurement cycle required to try it.
Setup takes minutes. Most first shifts are posted and confirmed the same day.
