And, you acquire the power to create controls around processes, facilitate agreements, and gain access to comprehensive information about ongoing projects, including pending and prior requirement adjustments.
Reduce Time To Hire
Hire the right people for the right jobs at the right time with Workday VNDLY.
Workday VNDLY gives vendors knowledge of existing and upcoming available roles, allowing you to maximize vendor alignment and bypass specific phases in the hiring process to improve efficiency for available roles.
Improve Program Transparency
Gain complete end-to-end process visibility for your extended workforce management and hiring operations and facilitate more comprehensive SOW monitoring across the organization. Workday VNDLY provides you with the knowledge and resources to respond to pressing inquiries about headcount, roles, spending, and location.
Improve Financial Controls
Ensure candidates are at or below your maximum rate allowance by enforcing rate thresholds. With complete insight into the total available budget, committed spending, and invoicing amounts, you can stay on track with project spending and stick to established budgets. Workday VNDLY can also reduce human invoice reconciliation by leveraging system restrictions, allowing only approved costs.
Increase Invoicing Efficiency
Utilize batch processing or individual off-cycle invoicing to stay on top of your billing. With Workday VNDLY, you can put single-line item-related queries on hold while continuing to advance other items through the process. This keeps vendor interactions regarding payment and invoicing queues from backing up.
Flexibility to Meet Business Needs
Using a user-friendly, self-service setup that allows you to work however you need to, you can avoid long wait times associated with traditional support ticketing systems. And, with Workday VNDLY, workflows for approval, rate cards, invoice settings, vendor distribution guidelines, and more can be changed as needed.
