(Spend Matters) Beeline acquires UK-based JoinedUp to go after the global market for a shift-based contingent workforce solution

The announcement explains that even though “contingent workforce vendor management systems (VMS) have traditionally serviced some high-volume staffing, they have not been widely adopted due to the complexities in managing this labor category at the operational site level.” The market, the announcement continues, “has long sought a global solution focused on the workflow and nuances associated with shift work.” The acquisition will allow Beeline to serve markets where “shift-based work is the dominant source of an organization’s non-employee labor.”
