Optimizing Workforce Management

Human capital expense constitutes the most significant cost of doing business. That being said, the real challenge for a firm is to have a talented workforce that will give them an edge in the market. To build the best team at low cost, many organizations today are adopting an extended workforce approach that helps them meet the demand for talented professionals and efficiently manage costs. However, as organizations’ talent repository continue to become a mix of employees and non-employees, optimizing workforce management demands greater visibility into the entire workforce. Beeline is helping companies to better handle their extended workforce by implementing a vendor management system (VMS) that automates the contingent staffing process. “Beeline provides visibility into the extended workforce and provides end-to-end solutions for sourcing and managing the talent required to compete and succeed in an increasingly on-demand world,” says Doug Leeby, CEO, Beeline.

Having recently merged with IQNavigator, Beeline has emerged as one of the top independent software solutions providers for contingent workforce management. Today, Beeline offers two VMS solutions and is converging these solutions on a new software platform to meet clients’ current requirements and future needs. The VMS solutions can be deployed rapidly, reducing the risks and resource requirements, and accelerating return on investment. Unlike other VMS providers, Beeline uses a tandem account management approach and dedicated specialist teams to deliver both strategic and operational support throughout the lifecycle of the client’s hiring program.

Beeline offers SaaS-based solutions to help companies manage their entire workforce, ranging from temporary staff to professional contractors, freelancers, through permanent employees. The solutions are driven by sophisticated technology and are supported by analytics, intuitive user interface, and foolproof security.

They are built to natively support flexible workflow, system configuration, and seamless integrations to ensure comprehensive management of the extended workforce. For instance, a Dutch multinational banking, and financial services corporation with operations in more than 40 countries, gained the needed skills by hiring temporary workers but was struggling with process inconsistencies and lack of employee onboarding controls. Aiming to implement a single portal and process, the client engaged Beeline’s IQN VMS. The VMS simplified and standardized ING’s recruitment processes and systems to ensure a simple experience for everyone involved. As a result, the company was able to provide their employees with a simpler contingent worker recruiting and management process, optimizing their non-employee workforce.

A company driven by client success, Beeline hosts Beeline Community Portal, an online community where clients, partners, and colleagues communicate with one another as well as gain access to key information and tools. “Our unique collaborative portal excels as the holy grail of industry information through which clients get the vantage point to understand market trends and make informed decisions,” ends Leeby.

Beeline has earned more than 20 patents and a growing list of first-to-market products and features, including self-sourcing capabilities, contextual guidance tools, visualization toolkits, and concierge services enhanced by artificial intelligence. Currently, the company is developing next-generation solutions to anticipate market demands. They are also building new capabilities to make its systems more powerful, more flexible, and easier to use. This includes enhanced mobile capabilities for users to interact with the VMS via mobile devices and a single sign-on capability to access multiple accounts, products, or systems through a single entry point. Further, Beeline is converging their VMS solutions on a new software platform that will allow them to support and enhance existing VMS solutions while creating a next-generation VMS with advanced capabilities.

Beeline launches two products to address previously unmet extended workforce challenges

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., -- Beeline, the leading technology solution provider for managing the global extended workforce, has unveiled two groundbreaking products to address workforce challenges previously unmet by the workforce industry, Beeline Professional and Global Workforce Intelligence.

With over two decades of experience, Beeline has played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of the extended workforce industry. Recognizing two of the industry's most significant shortcomings - vendor management systems (VMS) have been built for the enterprise level, and the full potential of talent visibility and compliance remains untapped - Beeline has launched its newest offerings on the Beeline Extended Workforce Platform.

Beeline Professional meets the unique needs of new and growing extended workforce programs. It is the first easy-to-activate VMS with pre-configured templates, workflows, dashboards, and reports modeled after best-in-class programs. Beeline Professional brings the value of scalable extended workforce management, automation, and efficiency to companies that spend between $1M - $25M annually on non-employee labor.

Doug Leeby, Beeline CEO, emphasized, "For far too long, extended workforce solutions have catered to enterprises and ignored the unique needs of mid-sized programs. Using insights from over the last 20+ years in the industry, Beeline Professional is uniquely tailored to meet the core needs of mid-sized programs without compromising quality and innovation."

Until now, the enterprise has struggled to have full visibility across its entire extended workforce. Global Workforce Intelligence solves this challenge by ingesting data from not just the company's VMS, but the remaining systems that house external workers not being captured in the VMS. This total workforce visibility enables comprehensive accounting, analysis, and proactive risk mitigation across the full extended workforce. Global Workforce Intelligence works with any VMS, not just Beeline's.

A leading global biopharmaceutical company shared their success with the new Global Workforce Intelligence product, stating, "Now we can see everything in one place. We've figured out the real root cause of why things are the way they are, and we're making better strategic workforce decisions. We're 99-100% compliant. Global Workforce Intelligence is the biggest opportunity for talent leaders in the next 5-8 years."

Extended workers constitute an essential component of an organization's overall workforce and talent strategy. Beeline's mission is to empower companies to gain a competitive advantage by optimizing their extended workforce. The introduction of these two innovative products is yet another step by Beeline in realizing that mission.

Leeby added, "We help companies overcome the complexities of the modern workforce. Beeline's solutions are filling gaps that have previously hindered the optimization of the extended workforce, enabling organizations to maximize every member of their workforce and gain a clear competitive market advantage."
