ADHOCSY
It Has a Labour Coordination Problem.
Every day, warehouses across India struggle to find reliable manpower exactly when demand peaks — while millions of workers remain willing to work but disconnected from opportunity.
Modern warehouses operate under intense pressure. Throughput defines revenue. Delays directly mean losses.
Warehouses are expected to run like modern businesses — but depend on workforce systems that are still offline.
For the same shift, three very different outcomes exist.
This ₹200 does not ensure attendance. It does not improve reliability. It does not create value.
Warehousing has moved away from fixed contracts to pay-per-use and cost-per-unit models.
Revenue depends on daily throughput
Manpower needed mainly during peak days
Permanent staffing becomes inefficient
Offline systems cannot react fast enough
Adhoc workers perform real work every day. Yet most of this work leaves no formal record.
"A system that cannot remember work cannot reward workers with dignity."
“काम तो रोज़ करते हैं, लेकिन कहीं लिखा नहीं होता कि हमने कितना काम किया। अगर काम का रिकॉर्ड होगा, तो हमें भी आगे बढ़ने का भरोसा मिलेगा।”

“अगर काम और पैसे का सही रिकॉर्ड रहेगा, तो बच्चों की पढ़ाई और घर की ज़िम्मेदारी दोनों संभालना आसान होगा।”

A detailed account of how a Gurgaon fulfilment centre tested Adhocsy during peak demand — and what changed on the ground.
A mid-size fulfilment centre in Gurgaon handles outbound shipments for multiple e-commerce brands.
Daily volume fluctuates sharply due to sales, delayed inbounds, and campaign traffic.
The warehouse operates on a cost-per-unit model — revenue depends entirely on daily throughput.
Every morning started with uncertainty.
“We were managing labour every day instead of managing operations.”
The warehouse ran a limited pilot with Adhocsy for peak-demand days.
No system overhaul. No contract replacement. Just a controlled test.
The pilot did not solve everything — but it removed the biggest daily uncertainty.
“We finally felt in control during peak days.”
When labour availability becomes visible, operations become calmer.
India is actively working toward formalising gig work, enabling digital payments, and recognising value creation across the workforce. Adhocsy supports this direction by creating transparency — without forcing rigid structures.
Helping warehouses operate smoothly, workers earn with dignity, and India move toward a formal, inclusive workforce.
