Lanternfield Staffing places about 600 people a week into warehouses, food plants and packaging lines across Allentown, Reading and Lancaster. Twelve recruiters run it. So does a stack of AI tools that Rad built, and this page shows a Tuesday with all of it switched on.
The figures on this page are invented to show the shape of the result. Where we quote a real client, we say so.
Started Lanternfield with one branch and a fax machine. Reads the morning brief before coffee and decides three things a day, not thirty.
Five years in. Carries the biggest desk, approves her own outbox, and is the reason the Reading branch fills cold-storage orders nobody else wants.
One year in. Rehearses hard client calls in RadSim before he makes them, because the first ten went badly and he said so.
Seven years. Runs the Lancaster branch with Ben and a fill board instead of a whiteboard.
Keeps the applicant queue moving. Trusts the score when it is there and reads the file when the box is blank.
Built the desk app through RadWorks, set up the reads and the role-play, and writes Joan one note a month about what to build next.
Three open orders at risk today, two associates who did not clock in, one client who went quiet for 21 days. Each line is a plain question with one button.
Lanternfield DeskA Reading order for 8 pickers has 5 confirmed. The board already texted the 3 no-shows and drafted the client a heads-up for Dana to approve.
Lanternfield DeskEach is scored 0 to 100 against the open orders. Where the system cannot tell, say no forklift certificate on file, the box is blank. Blank, not guessed.
Lanternfield DeskEach is read and ranked against Lanternfield's own fill history. The hard one is flagged: "we have missed on this shift pattern twice."
Lanternfield DeskShe approves 12, edits 2. Nothing goes out until she says so.
Lanternfield DeskTen minutes of role-play on what went wrong with the last placement before he proposes the next candidate. The debrief tells him where he skipped the hard question.
RadSimNine of twelve associates answered "Why associates leave before day 30." The summary names the freezer-shift surprise nobody put in the job order.
RadRootWhat shipped, what the reads said, and what to build next. One page, in plain English.
RadEvery screen is a branch of something Rad already built for a real business. The app here is a working mock: click through it, nothing sends.
Today's risks as plain questions, one button each. Joan decides; the app does the chasing.
Open orders by branch, confirmed against needed, no-show alerts, and a drafted client note waiting for approval.
Overnight applicants scored 0 to 100 against open orders. Unknown stays blank.
Incoming orders ranked 0 to 100 with the reason, against Lanternfield's own history.
Drafted notes to associates and clients. A person approves every one.
Hash-routed, fake data, no sign-in. Every Send and Approve says "In the real app this sends. Here it does not."
Open Lanternfield Desk"Meeting recordings (from PLAUD) turn into action items with owners, so nothing said in a meeting gets lost."
Ethan Polto, Owner, Signarama"Rad Consultants built us an AI assistant that drafts a reply to every customer support ticket, drawing on our own manuals, specs, videos and years of past answers. Our team reviews and sends instead of starting from a blank page, and it has already drafted more than 500 real tickets."
Dimitri Lewicki, President, L&L Kiln Mfg IncI tell people that the only way AI works is with documented data. Lanternfield had a whiteboard and a group text. So month one is the boring part, and it is the part that makes the rest hum.
Morning brief and fill board live. The data clean-up that makes them trustworthy: one list of open orders, one list of associates, one source for who is on which site.
Applicant scoring and the outbox. First RadRoot read of associates in week one, so the day-30 surprises show up on day 3.
RadSim role-play weekly for the one-year recruiters. Quarterly client check-in through RadRoot. Decide the next build from what the reads say, not from a hunch.
Lanternfield is made up. The tools are not. Describe how your business runs, about three minutes, and you get a written month-one plan for a tool shaped to your week.
