Bottom line
Low risk VMS for hourly contingent programs because the client pays nothing and can pilot first. It fits multi agency programs built around timekeeping and invoicing better than complex global SOW programs.
Stands out for: Clients pay nothing because vendors fund it, and time clock hardware is included at no added cost.
Watch out for: Staffing vendors fund the platform, so the cost lands on agencies and can show up in their rates. Vendor fees are not published.
Overview
SimpleVMS is a web based contingent workforce management system from SimpleVMS, LLC. The site says it was built by staffing industry veterans and offers support based in the United States. It brings staffing, timekeeping, invoicing and compliance into one system for companies that use several staffing agencies.
The platform is vendor funded. SimpleVMS says clients pay nothing for implementation, integration or support, there are no setup fees or long term contracts, and clients can pilot the system before a full rollout.
Features include tiered job order distribution, more than 100 stock reports with custom dashboards, compliance logging with audit trails and automated workflows for hiring, scheduling and billing. Timekeeping covers physical clocks with AI Photo Time, web punching, phone time and uploads. Invoicing combines all suppliers into one invoice.
SimpleVMS connects to other systems through an API, SFTP or file upload, and its integrations page shows Avionte, ADP, QuickBooks, Paylocity, Oracle NetSuite, SAP, Coupa and Manhattan. Named customers include American Greetings, Ulta and Freudenberg Household Products.
