Vendor management system (VMS) provides insight into the contingent workforce management and enables organizations to take appropriate measures to reduce costs, improve supplier performance, and identify risk areas through a structured process of supply chain. VMS provides the transparency that the organization management needs to ensure that its business engages eligible talent and required qualifications. A VMS solution manages end-to-end activities for contingent workforce management, including hiring processes, onboarding and offboarding processes, workflow and requisition management, candidate management, contract management, payroll, billing & invoice, performance tracking, spend tracking, and compliance management. Technological advancements remove bias from the selection process and train newer technologies like chatbots to become more effective in responding to applicant queries. Using AI in VMS enhances process automation and helps reduce the complexity of managing a large number of individual vendors.
