Connected worker programs for manufacturing
Vertici helps manufacturers move from paper rounds and clipboards to connected worker systems, and pairs every rollout with the culture work that makes adoption stick.
The problem
70–80%of transformation efforts fail · McKinsey, Deloitte, BCG
The software usually works. What breaks down is everything around it: knowledge gaps between shifts, silos between IT and operations, and frontline teams who were never asked what they needed.
When operators see a new tablet as surveillance or extra paperwork, adoption quietly fails, and the pilot never scales.
Every rollout starts on the floor, with the people who do the work.
Our approach
We combine hands-on IT and connected worker experience with applied anthropology, so the system you deploy fits the way your people really work.

Services
Each engagement starts with a one-hour consultation to understand your site, your team, and your goals.
Before rollout
For teams planning a connected worker program who want to know what the floor really needs.
During the pilot
For companies running a pilot who need it to prove value and earn buy-in.
After the pilot
For organizations ready to take a working pilot to more lines and more sites.
Our story
Inside a large manufacturer, Jeremy was asked to digitize a handful of paper rounds so frontline data would be easier to use. That small project turned out to touch everything on the shop floor: communication, data analysis, training, knowledge transfer, maintenance tracking, and above all, employee engagement.
He partnered early with Augmentir, back when “connected worker” wasn't yet an industry term. Rolling out a transformation program from inside the IT silo was hard. Jeremy had one unexpected advantage: he'd married a cultural anthropologist. Jessica joined as a consultant and worked from the frontline up, uncovering hidden stigmas and starting the conversations that drove adoption.
Technology alone doesn't drive transformation. People do.
Vertici exists to bring that lesson to other manufacturers: make work smarter, more engaging, and more human, with happier employees and stronger results to show for it.
