Traba

NFI operates the 5th largest warehouse footprint in the United States, running fulfillment and logistics at a scale most people never see. So hearing feedback like this from their team means a lot: "It's impressive to see the impact technology can have on contingent staffing. Traba has consistently delivered a level of speed, quality, and consistency that truly sets them apart. We're excited about what they've built and look forward to continuing to grow our partnership." Staffing is where we started, and being inside operations like this every day is what taught us how the physical supply chain actually works, where it breaks, and what the data really looks like underneath. That understanding is why we're building Neo, the AI layer for the operations that move the physical economy. Staffing proved we can bring real technology to an industry that's gone without it for too long and Neo is how we take that much further. There's a lot more coming. 

🚨 Calling out an exciting milestone... We just crossed 1,000,000 completed shifts on Traba. The number is exciting, but the pace is what stands out. It took us over 4 years to reach our first 500,000 completed shifts and we completed the next 500,000 in <1 year. Every shift represents an opportunity that a hardworking American was able to find consistent work, earn above-market income, and support themselves and their families. At the same time, critical businesses were able to get the labor that they needed to keep their operations running. Traba's acceleration is a reflection of the trust our customers place in us, the dedication of Traba associates who show up every day, and the relentless work of our team as we continue building the future of the global supply chain. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. On to the next million. 🚀

We officially launched Neo: Decision Intelligence for the Supply Chain. The problem in the supply chain was never information, it was the decision. Operators have the data (WMS, TMS, ERP, HRIS, carrier feeds), but the systems don't talk, so they run on incomplete data and tribal knowledge. Neo is the decision intelligence layer for supply chain operations: it connects your existing systems, decides the next move, and takes the action, grounded in real data from the floor. One early partner, Cody Branham, CEO of Ship Smarter, said it best: "It's the calm in the storm and the eye in the sky. I can now run my business profitably with confidence." We started by solving labor. This is the next chapter. Full story in the comments 👇 #Neo #DecisionIntelligence #SupplyChain

You can't buy your way onto the warehouse floor. You earn it, one 5am shift at a time. Five years later. Enter Neo. From our Founder Mike Shebat 👇

In our latest Top CHRO Voice Spotlight, Ryan Loken of Tyson Foods reframes what HR modernization actually means and describes what most leaders get wrong. He explains the ‘kitchen renovation’ analogy. Everyone uses the word "modern", yet nobody pictures the same finished kitchen. You can't pick the appliances or rip up the flooring until you've settled on the vision for the finished space. And you don't tear out what already works just because it's old. If it ain't broke, don't replace it. His advice: define WHY you’re modernizing before you define HOW. For some companies, modernization means converting paper processes to digital; for others, it's redesigning workforce planning, rebuilding onboarding for new hires, or building better feedback loops for employees. The most effective HR leaders see past directionless technology rollouts, identifying exactly what business outcomes to focus on and creating roadmaps accordingly. Ryan's perspective is a useful reset for any HR team staring down a "modernize everything" mandate. Read the full spotlight featuring Ryan Loken here: https://lnkd.in/eAmGdJ9E

Modernizing HR means strengthening what works, not replacing it. Everything in an organization can be a data point: employee sentiment, forecasts, business outcomes. Naturally, companies are continuously using this data to recognize patterns and diagnose what to improve. But effective modernization isn’t simply digitizing existing processes or applying blanket automation - it’s listening to employees, solving specific problems, and tying every people decision to a tangible business outcome. In our latest Top CHRO Voice Spotlight, Ryan Loken, Head of HR Policy Administration and Governance at Tyson Foods, shares how low-ego leadership, cross-functional partnership, and thoughtful implementation should continue to be the core ethos of the next HR transformation.

Thank you for the treats Traba team!

Two years ago I came across this story and it hit different. Because I was there. When Mike and his team were just getting started with Traba they showed up to our Kreyol Essence warehouse unannounced. Literally showed up. Gate locked. Knocked on the door. I was inside at 7am setting up for a shift. I let them in. Heard the pitch. Took a chance. They became one of our staffing partners. The model worked. Workers got paid. We shipped product on time. Now Traba is one of the fastest growing companies in the country. That's what I mean when I say I know how to spot talent early. Real recognize real. Operators recognize operators.
