The supply chain is under pressure. With labour shortages, high turnover, and growing demand for speed and precision, distribution centers are searching for smarter workforce strategies that deliver results without compromising efficiency.
Our productivity pay model, often called cost-per-unit (CPU), shifts compensation from hours worked to work delivered. It aligns your labour expenses to throughput and rewards performance while keeping costs predictable.
Key benefits include:
We offer both team-based pay, where unit targets fuel collective performance, and individual pay, which lets top performers earn more while still working within a team structure.
Sometimes, retention and productivity optimization aren’t enough, especially when time is on the line. That’s where our on-demand container unloading service comes in. Whether it’s same-day response or priority next-day turnaround, we step in to tackle urgent inbound needs fast. Our teams are trained to handle container unloading manually, also known as hand bombing, ensuring important shipments receive the speed and care they need.
Productivity pay delivers results when backed by the right people. That's why we build our teams around Industrial Athletes—workers trained to lift, sort, and move freight with discipline, endurance, and care. Supported through structured onboarding and recognition programs, these team members deliver consistent performance across shifts.
Facilities using Eclipse Advantage’s model see measurable gains:
A smooth transition to productivity pay hinges on several key factors. First, clear communication is a must. Industrial Athletes must fully understand how the pay structure works and what goals they’re expected to meet. Second, training and mindset shifts are necessary. Teams need to adopt a sense of ownership in their performance and embrace a more collaborative, result-driven approach. Lastly, ongoing review is necessary to keep the model effective. That includes regularly adjusting unit targets, refining processes, and ensuring appropriate leadership oversight to support long-term success.
Whether you're aiming to unlock productivity gains or accelerate unloading with on-demand container support, Eclipse Advantage brings the workforce strategies that power Canadian supply chains forward. Let’s work together to chart your path, from productivity pay adoption to scaling urgent service support.
