Companies have been using Excel and email to manage their freelancers, independent contractors and suppliers for as many years as these tools have existed. The rise in the “on­-demand economy” has created a requirement for companies to be able to manage a more agile workforce. PwC estimates that the on­-demand work sector is expected to generate $335 billion in revenue by 2025, up from $15 billion in 2014.

Experts argue that companies best prepared to manage an agile workforce will be able to beat their competitors. It may be time that you change out your email and Excel solution for an enterprise freelancer management system (FMS).

The 5 ways in which a FMS system may be better than your current Excel system include:

  1. Tracking Relationship History
  2. Improving Performance Management
  3. Enhancing Profile Administration and Compliance
  4. Integrating Multiple Workflows
  5. Searching and Accessing Fresh Talent

The team at Spend Matters has invited Martin Konrad our Co-founder & CEO to discuss these 5 areas in detail to help their readers evaluate if an enterprise FMS system may be right for their company.
