Don't take our word for it. Test us at a small scale.
Most of our cooperations start with a pilot: a limited number of people, clear metrics, a weekly review and a decision based on numbers. We take the risk of the first step on ourselves.
How the pilot runs
Four chapters - from a site visit to a decision
A pilot is not “let's try and see”. It is a structured process with an artefact at every stage - next to it you can see what is actually produced.

Shifts
2 (M/A)
Commute
≤ 40 min
Starting scale: a few people on one shift - agreed with you, not taken from a price list.
What we measure
Six metrics - and why you see them
We agree the metrics with you before the start and show them every week, without whitewashing. Each one answers a specific question about your operation.
Shift attendance
Does the shift start at full strength - the first signal of a stable team.
Punctuality
Does 6:00 mean 6:00. Lateness becomes visible before it becomes a problem.
Quality of work
The shift manager's assessment, not ours - floor feedback in a steady rhythm.
Time to full productivity
When a new person actually reaches the pace - no guessing.
Number and pace of replacements
How fast we correct a mismatch - before it burdens the rest of the team.
Fulfilment of the requested staffing
How much of the ordered staffing we actually deliver - in black and white.
We do not promise specific values up front - we promise you will see them. And if we conclude that the team will not be stable under your conditions, we will say so directly.
For the board and finance
Terms you know before the start - not after the fact
The pilot is a decision tool, not a commitment. The scale, duration and metrics are agreed with you, and the terms for scaling and ending are written down up front.
Who the pilot is for
For companies that want to test a supplier on their own data instead of on references: a new line or shift, a supplement to the current agency, a buffer for the season.
Example scale
Usually from a few people on one shift or one line - sized to your operation, not taken from a price list. There is no universal number, because one does not exist.
Duration
Agreed together - long enough to see repeatability, and short enough for the decision to come quickly.
Weekly review
A fixed rhythm: numbers from time records plus the shift manager's observations. We make corrections during the pilot, not after it ends.
Terms for scaling and ending
Written into the pilot agreement before the start. You scale up on results; you end as simply as you began - no loyalty periods.
Responsibility on both sides
Us: recruitment, verification, documents, replacements and a coordinator. You: the realities of the site during the walk-through, access to workstations and feedback in the reviews.
After the pilot
Two paths - both written down before the start
A pilot ends with a decision, not a limbo. Both paths are in the pilot agreement from day one - there is no third one where things “just drag on”.
Path 1
You scale on results
You extend the staffing when the numbers justify it. The terms for scaling are set up front - the decision is a signature, not a new negotiation.
Path 2
You end as simply as you began
No loyalty periods and no exit penalties. If the results do not defend the model - we end it, and you keep the data about your operation, not an obligation.
FAQ
Questions about the pilot
How much does the pilot cost?
The pilot is billed like normal work: hours worked under the terms of the pilot agreement, agreed before the start. The scale is small, so the cost of testing us is small too.
Who runs the pilot on the Veln side?
A dedicated operational coordinator - present on the floor during the first shifts - plus a recruitment coordinator. On your side, the shift manager and feedback in the weekly reviews are enough.
What if the results are weak?
You will hear it from us directly at the review - with numbers, not platitudes. We make corrections during the pilot; if the model still does not defend itself, you end it with no loyalty periods.
Does the pilot require exclusivity?
No. The pilot can run alongside your current agency and your own team - it is our standard way to start, also as a second agency or a buffer for the season.
