Achieving Cost Savings While Ensuring Quality and Responsiveness
A leading business and technology services provider managed its contingent labor program with a task-oriented, low-cost approach, resulting in an excess of suppliers, inefficiencies, and above-market rates. Softwise Solutions stepped in to transform the program through strategic involvement, process improvements, and supplier rationalization.
Legacy Supplier Relationships and Above-Market Rates
The provider's program struggled with long-term relationships between suppliers and key hiring managers, leading to a reliance on suppliers for consistent quality without a structured process. This resulted in unmanaged, individually negotiated rates, causing inefficiencies and inflated costs.

Softwise Solutions identified the need for significant internal process improvements and a reduction in suppliers to achieve cost savings. We introduced a new approach for sourcing and evaluating candidates, emphasizing consistency, transparency, established market rates, and supplier competition.
