Frequently asked questions
What is a Vendor Management System (VMS)?
A Vendor Management System (VMS) is a software platform that helps companies manage the full lifecycle of their external workforce. This includes sourcing freelancers and staffing suppliers, managing contracts and compliance, approving timesheets and expenses, and automating invoicing. A VMS gives procurement and HR teams full visibility and control over contractor spend and vendor performance from one central platform.
What is a contingent workforce management?
Contingent workforce management is the process of sourcing, onboarding, managing and paying external workers such as freelancers, independent contractors and temporary staff supplied through staffing agencies. It covers everything from publishing a job request and selecting candidates to managing contracts, tracking hours and processing invoices. Connecting-Expertise handles the entire process in one platform.
How long does implementation of CE VMS take?
Implementation timelines vary depending on the modules selected and the complexity of your existing processes, but most clients go live within a structured project timeline covering analysis, design, build, testing and acceptance. Our team works alongside yours throughout the process to ensure you go live on time and on schedule. Clients like ORES and BASF have highlighted the professional project approach as a key factor in a smooth rollout.
Can I use just one module, or do I need the full platform?
You can start with just one module and expand over time. The four modules (Source, Contract, Track and Pay) are designed to work independently or together. Each module shares the same data layer, so adding a new module later does not require re-implementation. Many clients start with sourcing or contract management and gradually add timesheet tracking and automated invoicing as their needs grow.
Is Connecting-Expertise only for large companies?
No. While Connecting-Expertise is trusted by large organisations like BASF, Belfius, ENGIE, ING and bpost, the platform is also well suited for mid-sized companies managing a growing external workforce. The modular structure means you only pay for what you need, and the platform scales as your contractor volumes grow.
How does Connecting-Expertise work for suppliers and freelancers?
Suppliers and freelancers can register for free on the Connecting-Expertise platform. Once registered, you can access job requests from 140+ companies across Belgium and Europe, submit candidate proposals, manage contracts and assignments, submit timesheets and track payments. Registration is free and you can start responding to opportunities immediately.
