For many organizations, managing a contingent workforce without the right tools leads to inefficiencies, compliance risks, and lack of visibility. One Fortune 500 company faced these challenges—until they partnered with Pinnacle Group. Through a strategic VMS implementation and optimization, we helped streamline their workforce operations, increase supplier engagement, and enhance cost control. The results? A more agile, compliant, and cost-effective contingent workforce program. Swipe through our latest case study to see how VMS transformation drove real business impact.
