Yes. With LaborFlex, you only pay for the time worked. For example, if a technician works just 3 hours, you’re only billed for those 3 hours—saving you hundreds compared to flat day rates (including Herman’s Integration Services’ day rate).

All LaborFlex work orders are assigned within one business day, and technicians can be on-site as soon as the next business day.

You will receive real-time notifications at key milestones:

LaborFlex offers guaranteed technician availability across the contiguous U.S.

When you use LaborFlex, we work to get you the best possible rate based on your job’s needs. In some cases, you might see a 10% estimated fee during the quote stage—this is only an estimate as we establish a do-not-exceed (DNE) amount so you can secure a PO.
That quote includes everything: technician time, platform access, and any partner support needed to fulfill the work. Once we source a tech and finalize the work order, that rate is adjusted to reflect the actual time on site—so you often end up paying less than the quoted amount.
Compared to traditional subcontracting, we’re typically helping buyers save hundreds per job by offering hourly pricing vs. flat day rates, and by reducing costs tied to per diems and travel.
In short: the quote shows a safe estimate, but the final rate is tailored to the real work delivered.
