By combining Brightfield’s TDX pricing and supplier insights with Sapience Vue’s utilization insights, businesses gain significant competitive advantage in the contract labor space, with a more holistic and accurate view into the economics and productivity of their contingent workforce. The capabilities are powerful synergistic additions to the procure-to-pay ecosystem. Each solution provides a significant ROI offering quickly executable, material savings to the bottom line or the ability to redirect savings for investment in other business priorities.
“While the Extended Workforce now represents almost 50 percent of the total workforce, most enterprises still lack the visibility to manage the costs and productivity of this vital human asset,” said Jesse Levin, CEO of Brightfield. “Through Brightfield’s partnership with Sapience, customers gain the unique ability to combine real-time labor cost intelligence with analytics on workforce productivity. The combination creates a new-to-world opportunity for enterprise executives to measure and manage the productivity of their total workforce, across employee, contingent and managed services teams.”
“Gaining complete transparency through the use of advanced data and insights is a key element to executing a successful next-generation sourcing strategy,” said Bradley Killinger, CEO of Sapience Analytics. “Because of the existing client successes we have already created together with Brightfield, we knew that formalizing the partnership was the logical next step. We are excited to bridge a gap between companies and their supplier communities with deeper analytics, insights and decision support to strengthen relations and business outcomes for our customers.”
