In today’s rapidly changing labor market, flexibility isn’t a nice-to-have - it’s the only way to stay ahead. If your VMS has a rigid, pre-configured system and you are told, “Here are your standard workflows. We can’t really change much without heavy development fees”, then you should be looking for a VMS that provides you with the flexibility and customization you need.
Imagine this scenario: you’re ready to buy a new home. You visit a builder and they give you two options:
Option 1: Choose from a set of prebuilt homes. You can pick the finishes - flooring, countertops, paint colors - but the layout, room sizes and functionality are already locked in. You can't change anything. You’ll need to adjust your lifestyle to fit the home.
Option 2: Work with a builder to design the exact home you want. Layout, room sizes, custom kitchen, functionality - everything is built around how you live. Oh, and here’s the kicker: the price is the same as Option 1.
Which would you choose?
In the world of Vendor Management Systems (VMS), this exact scenario plays out every day - and most buyers are being forced into Option 1. They’re handed a rigid, pre-configured system and told, “Here are your standard workflows. We can’t really change much without heavy development fees.” It’s like buying a house and being told you’ll have to keep the tiny kitchen, whether you’re a family of two or a gourmet chef with five kids.
That’s where Conexis VMS turns the entire experience on its head.
Most VMS Systems Are Rigid (And That’s a Problem)
Let’s be real: most VMS platforms were built over a decade ago. They were designed for enterprise environments with lengthy, complex implementation cycles and zero consideration for configurability once they’re live. Even small tweaks require development sprints, change orders, or worse—workarounds.
So what ends up happening? Companies settle. They compromise on how they manage their contingent workforce, bend to fit the software, and patch gaps with spreadsheets and side processes. This leads to inefficiencies, missed insights, and frustrated users.
Sound familiar?
Conexis Is Like Designing Your Dream Home
We’ve built Conexis VMS to be the opposite of traditional platforms. It’s not just another cookie-cutter solution with a shiny interface - it’s a fully configurable system built to match your unique business needs.
Think of Conexis as your designer, architect, builder, and move-in crew. We don’t just hand you the keys and disappear - we stay with you after you move in to make sure everything works the way you need it to. That’s what flexibility looks like.
When you work with Conexis, you’re not forced to choose between “prebuilt and affordable” or “custom and expensive.” You get enterprise-grade customization at mid-market pricing.
Here’s What That Looks Like in Practice:
1 - Tailored Workflows:
Whether you’re managing shift-based light industrial workers, high-skill IT contractors, or service-based SOW engagements, Conexis can be customized to meet your company's processes, policies, legislative controls and business rules. We adapt to your specific workflows - not the other way around.
2 - White label:
Conexis lets you customize the exterior as well. Your logo, your colors, even your own web address. Conexis becomes your own VMS, and can be launched in under a few weeks. Because we are built on the very latest tech stack, we can provide you with a fully White Labeled VMS with your own unique URL for a very affordable rate. The benefit of a white label VMS is that it enhances your product offering and provides a seamless experience for your clients.
3 - One Platform, Any Workforce:
Why manage your light industrial or high-volume labor in one system and your professional staff in another? Conexis supports all categories - from blue collar to white - on one flexible platform.
4 - Post-Go-Live Support That Actually Supports You:
Our team doesn’t disappear after launch. Just like when you build a house, your needs might change. Conexis evolves with your business needs.
5 - You Own the Experience:
Conexis gives you control. Configure dashboards, reporting views, user access, and process automation to suit your team and your goals.
Flexibility Is the Future
In today’s rapidly changing labor market, flexibility isn’t a nice-to-have - it’s the only way to stay ahead. Whether your contingent workforce program is growing, diversifying, or evolving, your VMS should be able to flex and scale without turning into a six-month project every time.
That’s the problem with traditional VMS platforms. They were built for a different era, when long implementation cycles and standardized processes were acceptable. Today, the winners are the ones who can move fast, adapt quickly, and stay in control of their operations. And that means having a VMS that acts like a partner - not a blocker.
Buying a VMS shouldn’t feel like you’re settling for what’s available. It should feel like designing the perfect solution for your business. With Conexis, you don’t have to sacrifice flexibility for affordability, or ease of use for customization.
We’re not just a VMS - we’re the team that helps you plan, build, move in, and live better with your contingent workforce program.
So, what kind of house do you want to live in?
