Challenge: As a leading provider of translation services in over 160 countries, the company relied on an extensive network of 10,000+ freelancers. Growth was slowed by cumbersome onboarding, inefficient assignment workflows, and fragmented spreadsheet-based reporting. Internal team members spent hours trying to find workers with the right qualifications. The company also lacked visibility into worker performance and engagement, limiting its ability to scale. Solution: The company used an automated platform to streamline contractor onboarding, organizing, and management. It launched a branded marketing campaign to recruit workers onto the platform and used automated workflows to speed freelancer onboarding. It organized its contractor network into structured talent pools based on skills, locations, and business needs to enable faster deployment. It also centralized assignment, delivery, and payment in a single automated, secure system with accessible reporting. Results: Within a few weeks, hundreds of pre-vetted freelancers were engaged and completing work through the automated onboarding process. Project managers were able to find the right talent in an instant by using 400+ pools of talent, improving productivity. Centralized workflows supported seamless assignment and payment at scale. Improved reporting visibility enabled teams to continuously refine processes and support growth.

The IT staffing firm connected field service technicians to clients worldwide and relied on 2,200 independent contractors to serve 60 enterprises. With demand growing, it struggled to find reliable IT talent, particularly in smaller geographies. It also faced time-consuming administrative work to onboard and organize contractors, which slowed operations. The company implemented an IT Field Services Marketplace to access thousands of technicians with the right skills, certifications, and performance ratings in the geographies it needed. It used automated workflows to collect certification and license requirements, verify U.S. worker tax IDs, and request background checks. It also used Labor Clouds to group talent by skill set and location, enabling faster matching to incoming work orders. The firm filled more jobs in more locations while improving confidence in technician quality. Dispatch time was reduced from 3–5 days to 1.5 days. Client Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased from 80% to 98%.

Challenge: A 30-year-old technical services firm was still relying on a manual contractor management process while shifting to a 1099 workforce. It needed a better way to onboard and vet independent contractors and to route work orders efficiently. The company also struggled to ensure accurate, timely payments at scale. Overall, the existing approach was too slow and expensive for the volume of work it handled. Solution: The firm implemented WorkMarket to organize and manage its independent contractor workforce. It used Labor Clouds to pre-vet talent by skills, experience, and location and to give project managers a 360-degree view of worker performance. Automated work assignment documented job details and routed work orders to the right workers, while the mobile app enabled real-time communication and photo uploads for quality control. For payments, invoices were routed and approved and payment processing was automated. Results: With a steady flow of 300–500 work orders per week, the firm made work assignment easier through automation and clearer documentation. Project teams were able to match workers to jobs more quickly using pre-vetted talent pools and performance visibility. Payment processing was streamlined, reducing discrepancies and saving hours of administrative time. The company no longer needed to manually process 300–500 checks each week, improving the experience for both the business and its contractors.

ClearVision AV’s contractor management process was slow and labor-intensive, with each work order taking over two hours to process. Manual workflows limited how quickly they could dispatch technicians and constrained growth. Finding qualified contractors for specific work orders was also cumbersome. They needed a single system of record for tracking and reporting that could integrate with their existing IT infrastructure. ClearVision implemented automated contractor management workflows and used Labor Clouds to organize pre-vetted contractors by specific skillsets. This approach helped them match technicians to jobs using skills, work order history, and performance ratings. The platform streamlined the work order lifecycle from initial request through assignment, replacing manual spreadsheets and email-based processes. It also integrated with their existing accounting platform to support a single enterprise system for project managers. After the change, work order processing that previously took hours took only minutes. SLA performance reached a 93% on-time arrival and completion rate. The company expanded coverage into secondary and tertiary markets and added more 1099 technicians across the country. Over four years, ClearVision’s services revenue grew 300% overall.

Quantum Installation (Quantam) faced a surge in growth while managing thousands of independent contractors across multiple sites. Its resource pool was growing, but work orders were increasing even faster. Existing processes to organize and recruit workers were burdensome to maintain. Finalizing worker assignments took an average of 72 hours, which limited the company’s ability to service clients. Quantum implemented automated, end-to-end contractor management workflows to better handle onboarding, dispatching, and payments. The company invited workers directly into Labor Clouds to scale recruiting and organize workers based on client-defined requirements. Contractor onboarding and verification of US tax ID and bank account information were completed through automated workflows. Quantum also integrated the platform with its project management system so work orders could trigger assignment routing and contractor pay. The automation and integration improved speed of service and reduced time to secure and dispatch a worker from 72 hours to mere minutes. Faster dispatching enabled Quantum to take on more jobs and larger projects and to bid more confidently on increasing project volumes. The company also provided workers with greater clarity on project needs, timelines, and work report processing. Internal stress levels decreased as operations became more efficient.

Source Support operated 24/7 across more than 110 countries with a large network of field engineers. Contractor management processes were manual and cumbersome, which held the company back from scaling efficiently. The team needed to streamline work orders, centralize operations, and deliver faster payments to contractors. Source Support implemented a contractor management platform to automate dispatch workflows and reduce the email-and-phone effort required to identify and assign engineers to work orders. They also set up an approval flow so completed jobs could be routed for instant payment processing. In addition, they used integrations to centralize work order management by passing assignment details from their servicing platform into a single system and relaying updates back. Automation reduced work order-to-dispatch time from 2 hours to 10 minutes and increased capacity to take on more work. With full integration, Source Support realized a 91% reduction in time per dispatch once a field engineer was secured. Expedited payments improved contractor experience, resulting in a 99.5% field engineer satisfaction rating.
