Optimize contractor labor, equipment, and material costs with an end-to-end solution from Beeline and MCi

The problem

Industrial business owners face multiple challenges working with contractors. Sourcing and managing contract and craft labor without the right automation tools can be inefficient, costly, and fraught with risk. Managing job postings, screening candidates, shift scheduling, overtime management, diverse rate rules, and local labor laws must all be addressed.

Too often, businesses cannot calculate true earned hours based on the contract’s terms, conditions, rates, and schedules. Consequently, they depend on their contractors to tell them how much they owe for labor, equipment, and materials. This can create a massive variance between what is owed and what is invoiced, resulting in an overspend of 8 to 15% or more.

The solution

MCi and Beeline have created a partnership that removes the guesswork about what labor has been performed and how much is owed. Beeline’s vendor management system (VMS) manages contract labor sourcing, screening, compliance, and risk mitigation, while MCi’s myTrack platform precisely calculates daily costs for labor, equipment, and materials, enforces contract terms, validates costs, and uses time sheet information to automate service receipts that are detailed and exact.

As a result, business owners can be sure they have the resources they need and are paying only for services they have received, and not a penny more.

Proven technology for multinational industries

Managing a global contractor workforce is a challenge for all heavy asset industries. Laws and regulations vary from country to country. Work may be contracted with companies in one country but performed in another. Sourcing and managing contract services requires experience to mitigate risks and ensure compliance.

Beeline’s extended workforce platform and MCi’s myTrack contractor management solution are backed by decades of relevant industry experience for hundreds of blue-chip clients. Together they ensure accurate labor, equipment, and material costs by automating compliance to contract terms, laws, and regulations, eliminating compliance risks and over billing.
