External workforce management challenges:
Difficult to get a complete picture of both consultants and staffing in real-time.
Get immediate insight into the entire external workforce – from needs analysis to invoicing. Direct visibility and control of each requester's own workforce and the total workforce and its competencies.
Manual and separate workflows for procurement, onboarding, and offboarding. Time-consuming and costly processes with long lead times to get a consultant in place. Difficult for a manager to know what to do next and if anyone is acting on what needs to be done.
Standardized and system-supported processes for procurement, onboarding, management, and offboarding. Clear steps and what needs to be done and by whom
Challenging to ensure compliance with local laws, internal guidelines, and global policies. Difficult to see time and date and who did what in the processes and if they had the right authorization.
Automatic notifications and regulatory checks ensuring all assignments follow applicable requirements. Full ability to see who did what with timestamp and name for follow-up on deviations.
Unexpected cost increases when budgets aren't transparent or forecasted. Poor or no insight into pricing per role or across the company. No good visibility into volumes per supplier and whether they have market-competitive prices.
Forecasts, planning tools, and cost overviews that minimize unexpected expenses. Full insight into revenue in real-time without time-consuming reports.
Delays and bottlenecks when information is spread across different systems and documents. Manual processes that aren't well documented or differ from department to department making it difficult for the requester to overview.
