Discover what’s inside the guide
Most companies managing contractor spend across multiple sites 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 shows what that approach really costs, using a SEK 15 million annual contingent spend program as an example, and where the money goes when there’s no central platform.
- A cost breakdown by category: invoice errors, unmanaged spend, HR admin time and rate overbilling, adding up to SEK 345,000 a year in our example
- The four warning signs of a program without a central platform, from multiple systems with no single source of truth to rate differences no one can see across sites
- Why the same role can be billed at a different rate from one facility to another when site managers negotiate directly with agencies
- How 3–4 days of manual reconciliation each month turn into roughly 40 days of lost HR capacity every year
- Why your staffing agencies have a better view of your contractor program than you do, and what that means at every contract renewal
