What is a VMS?
A Vendor Management System (VMS) is software used to manage indirect contingent workforce procurement relationships with staffing vendors. A VMS allows talent, procurement and hiring managers to maximize profitability, optimize programs, and gain visibility over extended workforce operations.
Modern VMS solutions are cloud deployed and offer a richer portfolio of capabilities to support the lifecycle of contingent workforce management; including recruiting through direct sourcing and Statement of Work. This is why we describe Simplify VMS as moving beyond the VMS.
