A vendor management system, commonly known as a VMS, is a software application that allows your business to manage the entire staffing agency lifecycle and non-employee workforce process in one centralized, and automated, platform.
By consolidating staffing vendors and non-employee workforce data on one centralized platform, your organization can use a VMS to automate every step in contingent workforce management. That includes everything from managing procurement, measuring vendor performance, onboarding non-employee workers, tracking payments and much more!
By using vendor management software to manage your staffing agencies and contingent workforce, your organization can access both soft and hard savings. These include better workforce quality, improved vendor partnerships, reduced costs, vendor consolidation, increased efficiencies, improved workforce visibility and a huge range of other benefits.
Manual spreadsheets are inefficient and time-consuming, resulting in human error, fragmented processes and inconsistent hiring/vendor decisions that lead to a complete lack of visibility into your contingent workforce program and vendor performance. A vendor management system will automate all of these processes and consolidate your data, giving you complete visibility into how your program is performing.
Depending on the system and how complex your contingent workforce requirements this can be very difficult and time consuming or very simple and fast. Not all VMS’ are created equal so its important you first define your business requirements and your desired workflows. From there you can assess each VMS and narrow it down to the system that can meet most of your requirements.
Although many VMS’ will only address hourly based temps through staffing agencies, the VMS systems off today will help you manage the process to acquire, bill and pay for many different types of workers sourced externally. This includes hourly temps, fixed fee contractors, permanent hires, direct sourced workers and independent contractors.
Some VMS systems can be very expensive to implement and maintain. Many VMS providers charge a percentage of every dollar that processes through the system. Recently, more traditional software license pricing has been introduced by some VMS providers.
