Discover what’s inside the checklist
Most manufacturers managing contractor spend across multiple plants still rely on a shared spreadsheet to track hours, a separate inbox for agency requests and an AP system that doesn’t talk to HR. This guide puts a number on that approach, using a $15M annual contingent spend program as an example, and shows exactly where the money leaks.
- A detailed cost breakdown showing how invoice errors, unmanaged spend, HR admin time and rate overbilling add up to $345K a year in our example
- The four signs your program lacks a central platform, including spend data you can only access through your agencies
- How the same role can be billed at different rates from one plant to the next when site managers negotiate directly with agencies
- Why manual reconciliation eats up roughly 40 days of HR capacity every year
- What you lose at every contract renewal when your agencies have better data on your program than you do
