Transform How Frontline Work Runs

Enterprises struggle to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in frontline labor spend due to decades-old software and manual processes, creating massive, avoidable costs. Frontline labor often represents 40% of the P&L, yet the systems managing this $3 trillion market were built for static schedules and limited flexibility. ReadyOn was founded to reject that paradigm. Staffing is not a scheduling problem; it is a real-time supply-demand orchestration problem. ReadyOn is an AI-native labor operating system, built from the ground up for AI agents to perform real-time labor optimization-much like ridesharing platforms that match drivers and riders in real time, but applied to frontline labor instead of fixed, one-size-fits-all schedules.

Who’s Building It

AI is not a bolt-on feature in our platform. Every decision, from demand forecasting to shift assignment, flows through an adaptive, autonomous decision layer that learns from operational data and continuously optimizes for cost, compliance, and worker satisfaction. Behind that system is a founding team of experts in labor markets, enterprise software, and AI-enabled platforms:

• Reza - Engineering leader who scaled enterprise systems at Google, Yahoo, and AT&T
• Dominic - Operator who optimized labor-intensive operations in 21 countries
• Mohammad - Stanford professor and leading expert in algorithmic market design

ReadyOn has already proven product-market fit with multiple multi-million-dollar customers, consistent expansion within existing accounts, and measurable ROI that moves stock prices.
