VMS Fast Implementation in a Few Weeks: Fact or Fiction?

I recently discussed VMS (Vendor Management System) implementations and overheard this comment: "If your VMS tells you they can implement their VMS in under 4 months, they are not telling you the truth." Well, I may have bought that comment five years ago - or agree it might still apply for enterprise-level implementations - but with the advancements made in recent years, this is no longer the case.

Today's modern VMS tech stack enables turnkey rapid setups which can be self-configured.

Even integrations and customizations take weeks instead of months, making Vendor Management System Implementation much smoother and faster, especially for the mid-market contingent workforce buyer and user.

In the past, implementing a VMS was often a complex and time-consuming endeavor, requiring extensive planning, integration, and customization. The sheer scale and complexity of enterprise-level VMS deployments could easily stretch the implementation timeline to 6 months or more. However, the landscape has changed significantly in recent years, thanks to the advancements in VMS technology and the evolving needs of the mid-market.

Today's VMS solutions are designed with a focus on rapid deployment and user-friendly configuration. Many providers now offer turnkey packages that can be set up and configured in weeks rather than months. These turnkey solutions often include pre-integrated software, cloud-based hosting, and streamlined processes, reducing the need for extensive on-site infrastructure and IT support.

Modular Design & Plug-And-Play Integration

Moreover, the modern VMS tech stack emphasizes modular design and plug-and-play integration. This means integrating the VMS with other systems, such as human resources, procurement, or payroll, has become much more streamlined. Instead of custom coding and lengthy integration projects, many VMS solutions offer seamless integration through pre-built connectors or APIs, allowing for a rapid and efficient deployment.

Mid-market buyers have significantly benefited from these advancements

Smaller organizations often lack the resources required for complex, enterprise-level VMS deployments. The turnkey and user-friendly nature of today's VMS solutions has enabled these mid-market businesses to implement a sophisticated vendor management system within a much shorter timeframe without requiring extensive technical expertise or lengthy implementation timelines.

VMS Implementation can now be completed in weeks not months

While the 4-month implementation timeline may have been a valid concern in the past, the modern VMS landscape has evolved significantly. With turnkey solutions, modular design, and streamlined integration capabilities, VMS implementation can now be completed in a few short weeks for mid-market organizations!

As technology advances, the speed and efficiency of VMS deployments will only continue to improve, making it a more accessible and practical solution for businesses of all sizes.

Implementation Set Up Costs

Within the modern VMS landscape, there is also another benefit that you should be considering when evaluating potential VMS Providers: The set-up and onboarding costs. For example, at Conexis VMS, because we are built on the latest, most modern tech-stack, we can do all the onboarding and set-up for you at no cost. Unlike other VMS legacy systems, we don't charge for this service. Our goal is to help you get up and running fast so you can benefit from our VMS immediately!
