Having a partner like this has made a huge difference. When branch managers need help or have questions about temp labor, I can simply say "please handle this one." The team has essentially taken over managing the temp labor space, which has been phenomenal and has taken a great deal off my plate.

— THE SITUATION
A growing business that needed its workforce program to grow with it.
One of North America's leading construction materials suppliers operates more than 500 locations across the US and Canada, with a workforce that blends permanent and contingent staff in roles ranging from warehouse associates and forklift drivers to accounts payable and administration. Without a vendor management system in place, around 40% of contingent labor spend was happening outside approved channels, branch managers were running onboarding and safety training on-site, and scaling for seasonal demand was a constant strain.
— WHAT WE DID
We built the program around how they actually work.
A dedicated program manager joined their team and stood up a centralized program covering all 500+ locations. We tailored the platform to their operations with role-specific compliance packages (including DOT for drivers), moved EHS and onboarding training upstream so workers were ready on day one, consolidated dozens of agency invoices into a single payment process, and gave leadership weekly and monthly reporting on spend, vendors, and compliance for the first time.
