Vendor management sits at the centre of workforce risk. Without a single system of record, organisations struggle to see who is working where, under which terms, and through which supplier. This creates exposure to compliance failures, inconsistent rates, duplicate workers and uncontrolled spend.
3B Control VMS was built to solve this at scale.
Running natively on Salesforce, it provides a structured, auditable environment to manage vendors, assignments and approvals from one place. Every worker, supplier and decision is tracked, governed and connected to your wider workforce and onboarding processes.
Whether used as a standalone vendor management solution or as part of the wider 3B platform, VMS gives you the control and transparency needed to manage a modern contingent workforce without complexity.

01 Centralise vendors, roles and demand
Everything starts with a single view of your contingent workforce demand. Hiring managers raise requests, roles and requirements inside Salesforce, with rate cards, approvals and vendor rules applied from the outset. This ensures every role is structured, governed and visible before suppliers engage.
02 Distribute work to approved suppliers
Roles are released to approved vendors based on predefined rules such as tiering, geography, rates or performance. Suppliers submit candidates directly into the VMS, keeping all submissions, communications and decisions in one controlled workflow without email or spreadsheets.
03 Control selection, rates and approvals
Candidate shortlists, rate negotiations and approvals are managed inside Salesforce with full transparency. Automated controls prevent rate leakage, duplicate submissions and off-contract engagements, while maintaining a complete audit trail for every decision.
04 Manage assignments, extensions and changes
Once placed, assignments are tracked centrally including start dates, end dates, extensions and changes. Updates flow through approval workflows automatically, ensuring nothing runs over contract, outside policy or without visibility.
05 Maintain a single source of truth
All vendors, workers, assignments and approvals live natively in Salesforce. There is no duplication, no system hopping and no loss of control. This creates a clean, auditable data model that feeds reporting, compliance, workforce planning and the wider 3B platform.
