Labor management consultants first. Software developers second.

Everything in PEP comes from a structured, industrial engineering approach to better labor management. The software exists to carry that approach out, every day, in every department.

That order matters more than ever now. AI can only work with the data it’s given, and decades of consulting decided what PEP collects, how it’s checked, and who sees it.

No one knew where temps were deployed or what they did. Centralized temp assignment plus PEP measurement of each temp’s performance cut temps from 120 to 40.

A chronic low-performer problem

PEP’s Performance Review flagged anyone whose last 100 hours fell below 70%. They were retrained, and if that failed, managed appropriately.

Four years in, overtime still climbing
