PrOBid™ & STOR™

"Providing a complete and comprehensive solution for the entire contingent workforce"

Since our inception, PrO has consistently developed service offerings that help our clients address the challenges of properly managing their contingent workforce. Key segments of the workforce, including project based consultants and offshore/outsourced workers, have often been excluded from the stringent procurement and tracking that the rest of the non-employee workforce is subjected to. The combination of PrOBid™ and STOR™ (Standardization & Tracking of Other Resources) addresses this challenge for our clients, providing competitive sourcing and comprehensive visibility and tracking for the entire contingent workforce.

PrOBid™: Competitive Sourcing for Project Based Work

The process for procuring consultants for project-based work is one of the most difficult aspects of contingent workforce management. Hiring managers often engage project-based consulting firms independently, bypassing key internal controls and losing opportunities to leverage the company's buying power.

PrOBid™ is a web based tool that automates the procurement and tracking of fixed price, milestone and time/materials based project work. Utilizing PrO's WAND system, PrOBid™ provides a dynamic online bidding environment that drives cost savings, and helps clients manage this once "invisible" segment of the contingent workforce.

STOR™ (Standardization & Tracking of Outsourced Resources)

STOR™ allows our clients to apply PrO process management solutions and technology across every population of contingent worker, regardless of location, billing arrangements, contractual particulars or tasks performed. STOR™ solutions can encompass consultants, project workers, offshore/outsourced populations, as well as any contingent resources not traditionally captured by vendor management services.

Services offered under STOR™ include:

• Hours tracking by task and project detail
• Financial reporting forecasting and analysis
• Invoicing services
• Lifecycle management
• Time and expense capture
• Purchase order and change order monitoring
