Wagner Logistics Partners With Dallas-Based Agency to Boost ‘Gig Workforce’

Posted August 14, 2023

Wagner Logistics, a supply chain management provider based in North Kansas City, announced a partnership with Veryable, an on-demand marketplace for manufacturing, logistics and warehousing labor.

The partnership was announced Tuesday.

The partnership will allow Wagner to leverage Veryable’s platform to secure contract warehouse staff and establish a “gig workforce,” to counter the affected of the worker shortage, according to the company.

“In the past we’ve filled labor gaps with the standard temp labor service, which is becoming an outdated model, or at the very least a model that’s been beaten to death,” chief real estate officer at Wagner Logistics, Joe Oliaro said. “As we begin our Veryable partnership with our team in Kansas City, my intent is to have this agile labor solution model rolled out across all of our locations so that our workforce is reinforced by a structure that supports work-life balance, yet remains efficient.”

Veryable operators use a “mobile-first platform” to find gigs within the Wagner warehousing facilities that fit their schedule and earn a competitive wage.

Wagner has more than 550 team members and manages more than 7 million square feet of U.S. distribution space across 24 markets, according to a release.
