Navigating Contingent Workforce Challenges:

Eden Brown Synergy's Success with Bridge VMS

customer_logo_02

Eden Brown Synergy is a well-establish staffing firm in the not-for-profit and public sectors, with a network of offices across the UK. In recent years, the contingent workforce side of its business has grown substantiality—a good thing, naturally. 

Unfortunately, that growth had begun to strain internal resources:

  • Short turnaround times

  • Turnover is endemic among contingent workforces, which means far more frequent projects 

  • Tracking and managing contingent staff was taking up too much time
     
  • Third-party suppliers are needed to manage contingent placements, but that only added to the overall administrative headaches

  • No way to change existing processes and workflows to adapt to the unique and evolving requirements of contingent placements

Time to Get Proactive

These challenges were beginning to threaten Eden Brown Synergy’s ability to meet client demands and provide the high-level of service that made it so successful. Executives feared mistakes were going to start happening. On a more granular level, 

  • Timesheet processing was taking too long
  • Client requests could not be easily tracked and measured 
  • Work was being duplicated because there was no visibility into the entire supply chain
  • No standardized reporting, so information was being sent out haphazardly 
  • Barriers to fast and simple communications were straining staff morale and affecting relationships with third-party suppliers

 

Enter Bridge VMS

The challenges Eden Brown Synergy faced in the contingent workforce space are all too common. Staffing firms and MSPs have come under increasing pressure from the mounting demand worldwide for contingent staffing, and quite often their current systems are cracking because they weren’t designed to meet that level of demand in the first place. 

After an exhaustive search, Eden Brown Synergy chose Bridge VMS to solve its contingent workforce woes. The reason was simple:

Bridge VMS provided a global solution to their problems without requiring a massive enterprise investment in terms of money, complexity, training, and time.
