Bridge VMS Product Updates - October 13, 2025

🚀 BridgeVMS Release Notes

The wait is over.  This one’s been simmering behind the scenes for a while, and it’s finally here.  Massive upgrades, long-requested features, and some serious workflow boosts, all landing in one go.  Here’s what just dropped 👇

💬 What’s new?

• Global Rate Changes:  The feature you’ve been waiting for. 🌟  Process rate changes en masse with our new Global Rate Change module.  Adjust rates across job templates, jobs, placements, fees, pay components - you name it.  Apply fixed changes, fixed increase/decreases, percentage increases/decreases, or even target ranges (like “boost all rates between X and Y”).  If you’d like to gain access to this module, please get in touch with our support team who will be able help.  To find out more, check out of user guide here 👉 How to process a rate change via the Global Rate Change module
• Effective Date Rates: Plan ahead like a pro. 🗓️ Wherever you apply rates - jobs, templates, expenses, Priceworks, fees, taxes - you can now assign effective dates.  Separate rate cards for future changes, pre-configured before they kick in.  Goodbye last-minute scrambling. For more information on this, check out our guide on effective date rates here 👉 How to manage effective date rates
• Pay Components (UK Only): We’ve given pay components their own spotlight. ✨ App Levy and Pension have joined the line-up, making your pay breakdowns cleaner and more configurable.  For more information on this check out our guide here 👉 How to configure pay components
• Candidate pay override: Sometimes one size doesn’t fit all.  Now you can override job template rates for individual candidates tied to banks/float pools or agencies.  Extra flexibility, zero fuss.
• Global search function improvements: Finding agency user profiles just got easier. 🔍  Type it in the global search bar and they’ll appear.  Yes, that simple.

🐞 Fixes & Optimisations:

All the little (and not-so-little) tweaks that make your life easier:

• Timesheet survey category option – Fixed!  Now it actually works as intended.
• Timesheet status corrections – Approved timesheets now update properly.  No more stuck “pending” surprises.
• Job cancellations – We’ve made some improvements to cancelling a job where a placement is also attached.  Additional notifications are triggered.
• Job history showing job was filled by an agency – Minor partner supplier display quirks?  Squashed.  Job histories now show accurate filled-by info.
• Behind the scenes – Background tasks got a boost to keep BridgeVMS humming along like clockwork.

This release is a big one!  A lot of groundwork laid over months and it sets the stage for even bigger features coming soon.
