SimpleVMS was founded on the core business principle of helping companies streamline interactions with their staffing vendors in procuring contract employees. Our goal is to help your organization hire outstanding people.
SimpleVMS automates the process of procuring, managing, and analyzing contingent and project-based labor. Additionally, the software can budget, track, and pay time and expenses. Starting with the creation of a job posting, interview scheduling, new employee integration, consolidated invoicing and payment, our software will save time and deliver cost efficiencies. The user-friendly web-based system will enable clients to consolidate their contingent vendor pool, ensure HR policy compliance, reduce cost and accelerate time-to-hire.
"Vendor Management Systems(VMS), in use in nearly 50% more Best-in-Class companies than all others, have historically automated the supplier selection and management processes of contingent labor...VMS technology also enables organizations with a centralized portal that contains data around service categories, project milestones, project expenses, and other dashboards for gaining true contingent workforce intelligence."

CASE STUDIES
Manufacturing
THE LABORIOUS PROBLEM
Manufacturing client with 150 temporary workers on average, flexing to 350 across 3 sites and 15 job titles. Their old process involved paper timesheets and manual tracking of attendance issues. Each vendor was required to maintain a specified volume and report against their performance.
3rd Party Logistics
VENDOR TIME EFFICIENCY
3rd party logistics (3PL) client with 200 temporary workers spiking to 1000 seasonally across 7 sites nationally and 150 job titles. Each vendor had their own timekeeping systems and the client required cost reporting per site, per department, per job function / cost center. The staffing vendors were each manually building this reporting for them, resulting in multiple days of time spent per vendor every week. SimpleVMS improved the process through automation, eliminating the vendor cost as well as providing the data to the client in real time instead of only once per week.
e-Commerce
REDUCING ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS
An e-commerce operation using 27 different vendors across 52 sites was using multiple systems to support the hiring and management functions as well as to track time on their contingent workforce:
- Manual invoice process
- WorkDay used for HRIS and tracking
- Manual timekeeping and multiple time collection methods
Over 120 Sites
CONSOLIDATION & INTEGRATION
A very diverse manufacturing company with over 120 sites nationwide need a way to see a “big picture” view of their entire organization. They had grown both organically and via acquisition, and had multiple recruiting & time tracking systems for their contingent workforce throughout their enterprise. Their existing processes were not connected, provide no way to aggregate or compare their numbers, provided little oversight or real-time metrics, and was error prone due to the many manual steps involved.
- No big picture / aggregation of data
- Tracking and oversight of spend
- Communication & Audit Trail
- Inability to compare KPIs of suppliers
- Invoice Tracking
Engineering
AUTOMATING MANUAL PROCESSES
A company with a strategy to use contractors for their professional and engineering positions utilized 47 different staffing providers with a spend of $50 million annually. They needed a way to simplify the processes from end to end to better manage this aspect of their operation. The processes were cumbersome for all involved, requiring multiple touch points that were completed manually. Areas for improvement identified as a business case for change were:
- Lengthy vacancy time
- Inefficient interview process
- Communications
- Loss of highly skilled candidates in the hiring process
- Limited visibility on the performance of all suppliers
- Compliance Management
- Administration of Invoices
