UpGlide Announces Major Global RPO & MSP Technology Deal

Today, UpGlide announced a major software agreement with a global RPO and MSP solutions enterprise. The company will leverage UpGlide as its sole vendor management system (VMS) technology across its multiple lines of business. Engaging the UpGlide platform will help the company streamline the administration of its talent management, RPO, and MSP programs. The unique flexibility of UpGlide will allow the company to better meet client demand.  The company will use the tool across diverse client segments within manufacturing, consumer goods, financial, healthcare, and life sciences industries. “This is a notable milestone for UpGlide, as we begin a new strategic partnership with a leading global RPO and MSP company. UpGlide will provide a great opportunity for our new client to transcend the limits of its existent processes and upscale workflow all through the platform,” said Scott Aicher, COO of UpGlide.

UpGlide’s newly engaged client is a leading talent acquisition solutions organization who conducts business with clients across all continents. Finding better ways to manage the employee lifecycle in today’s world can be challenging with all the viable tech options present in the marketplace. Organizations often hesitate to adopt workforce management tools that only partially meet their requirements. UpGlide provides unique value in addressing this problem. The platform is fully customizable to accommodate any environment, including blended workforce requirements present in staffing business models.

“UpGlide’s solution is a bit different than other VMS technologies available in the market. We facilitate transactional business by establishing long-term relationships. We are ecstatic to be working with a global talent strategy management company and look forward to growing our partnership together. As the business landscape for workforce management continues to evolve, we strive to position UpGlide as an innovative leader of best-fit technology solutions across all industries that engage and/or provide staffing solutions,” said Scott Aicher, COO of UpGlide.

UpGlide continues to progress along a positive growth trajectory as it strengthens brand recognition within the workforce management technology space.  In early October, UpGlide launched UpGlide Timesheets, a straightforward time and expense technology solution built for the staffing industry. The application is proficient in managing a multi-layer workforce management program. The company continues to secure deals with direct employers, MSPs, and staffing agencies. “It is exciting to have the opportunity to see UpGlide in action with a full spectrum of clients, each of which is using the tool in a distinct way to trigger different engagement models,” said Aicher. “This new technology deal is going to take UpGlide to new heights in tapping the global talent ecosystem. We look forward to big things to come as we expand our client base and development roadmap. We continue to drive UpGlide as the ultimate technology that solves the challenges of managing the modern workforce.”
