Case Study: How Bridge VMS Transforms an MSP's Business

Written by Bridge VMS Team | Aug 08, 2024

This spotlight highlights one of our prominent clients, a well-established Managed Service Provider (MSP) specializing in recruitment for the insurance and financial services sectors. This busy client excels in head office staffing and has a presence in various other verticals. Despite their strong market presence, managing their extensive recruitment programs posed significant challenges before integrating with Bridge VMS.

Customer Challenges

This staffing MSP faced several key challenges:

  1. Multiple VMS Systems: They used three different Vendor Management Systems (VMS) across their 20 recruitment programs. 
  2. Lack of Functionality: Existing VMS solutions failed to meet their needs, offering over-promised functionalities that were not delivered. Their two largest programs, which accounted for nearly 50% of their business, had no VMS at all due to dissatisfaction with existing solutions.
  3. Customer Support Issues: The client experienced inadequate customer support from previous VMS providers, making it difficult to resolve issues promptly.
  4. High Costs: The pricing of the existing solutions was problematic, with hidden costs and inefficiencies adding to their operational expenses.
