How we'd like to work together

A partner, not a vendor

Tim — most companies that would sell you automation make their money whether it helps you or not. We've built this differently on purpose. We only do well when you're winning bigger. Here's what that means and why it should matter to you.

The problem with how most of this gets sold

The usual arrangement is simple: a vendor charges you for activity. Seats filled, hours billed, tickets closed. The more of the painful thing you have to keep doing, the more they earn. A recruiting vendor makes more when you churn more drivers. A staffing shop makes more when your turnover stays high.

Which means their interests and yours quietly point in opposite directions. The longer your problem lasts, the better their year. You can feel it — it's why every renewal turns into a negotiation, and why you're right to push back on the price. You're not being difficult. You're correctly sensing that you're paying someone whose business depends on your problem sticking around.

We don't want to be the company you have to haggle with every year. We want to be the one you're rooting for.

How we set it up instead

We price the work so that we only earn real money when your pain is actually shrinking — when drivers you'd have lost are staying, when seats that sat empty are filled and producing. A modest fee to run the system, and the meaningful part of what we earn is tied to the number you most want to move.

So your CFO can look at our biggest invoice and see, in about five minutes, that it lines up with your best quarter. When we're sending you a bigger bill, it's because you kept more drivers than you've kept in years. That's the whole design. If it doesn't move your number, we don't earn the upside — and that's fair to you.

The part you can't get by hiring

You know better than almost anyone what an employee costs and what they give back. Hire another recruiter and you get one more person's worth of calls a day — for one more salary, and only while they're at their desk. It's a fair trade, but it's a straight line: double the work, double the headcount, double the cost. And it stops at 5 o'clock.

What we build doesn't work like that. It answers the 9:30 PM call from a driver at a truck stop — the one that today goes to the next carrier on his list because nobody picked up. It runs every hour of every day, and it gets sharper over time without you adding a single salary. The output compounds; the cost doesn't.

You can't buy this by trading another person's hours for dollars. That's exactly why it's worth doing — and exactly why we want you watching us win, because every win is leverage you can't manufacture any other way.

What this looks like for you

The test is low-risk on purpose. We'd rather you spend a little to find out we're real than write a big check on faith. If the test doesn't prove out, you're out a small amount and we part as friends.
You never interact with anything we build — your people do. Your recruiters, your dispatchers, your office staff stay the face of Kreilkamp. The automation works behind them and makes them faster. Drivers and shippers keep hearing from your team, not from a machine.
We stay narrow on purpose. We'd rather do a handful of things deeply for a few operators we believe in than spread thin. Depth is the product.
We won't take access to anything we can't afford to make a mistake on. Your books stay your books. Trust gets earned in increments, and access scales with it.

The bet we're asking you to make is small. The bet we're making on the relationship is that if we do this right, you'll want us winning for a long time — because every time we win, you win bigger.
