What is a VMS?

A VMS stands for Vendor Management System(VMS) and is a Cloud/SaaS application that acts as a central hub, and a system of record. However, the technology driver is not the need for transactional data. Magnum Staffing's generation is driven by the business intelligence solution that allows you to understand and interpret the wealth of data generated from our VMS.

The VMS suite is configured to automate and streamline critical processes that support the sourcing, acquisition, and management of the workforce. This includes requisitions (request for services), candidate selection and on-boarding, compliance, approvals, time management and scheduling, expense management, and payments. In addition, our platform can provide extensive reporting functionality and features to support your human capital strategies and objectives.
