Beeline partners with European VMS

June 18, 2014

Vendor management system provider Beeline formally announced a strategic partnership with Pixid, a European-based VMS provider, that will provide a solution for French and multinational companies who source and manage non-employees in France. It will also allow Pixid customers in France to expand their flexible workforce programs abroad.

Pixid reports it has more than 70 percent of the French market. It was created in 2004 by Adecco, ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) and Randstad.

“While Beeline is successfully deployed globally, we recognize the importance of partnering with Pixid to provide our global and French customers the benefits of our combined expertise,” said Manuel Roger, senior vice president of Beeline EMEA markets and operations. “Through this partnership, Beeline customers and their staffing suppliers will benefit from Pixid’s knowledge about compliance with French legal requirements, ensuring an accurate understanding of labor sourcing policies and application of market practices through Beeline VMS.”

The Beeline VMS is part of Adecco, which acquired the VMS along with the MPS Group in 2009. Beeline ranked among the largest VMS providers in terms of total temp/contract spend and outsourced spend among firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ most recent VMS and MSP Supplier Competitive Landscape report.

“We are very proud to partner with Beeline by providing customers with additional knowledge and understanding of the complex French market,” said Pixid CEO Etienne Colella. “We look forward to promoting Beeline solutions to our own customers in order for them to expand the scope of their flexible workforce programs around the world. … This partnership allows us not only to cover additional contingent staffing categories, such as consulting and Statement of Work, but also to expand geographically.”

The Beeline-Pixid partnership was announced at a Beeline customer conference this week.
