Everything your contingent program needs.
In one intelligent platform.
Elevate VMS unifies requisitions, suppliers, submissions, engagements, timesheets, and invoicing: with MEL available at every step. Automation first, judgment always: MEL clears the manual work while your team keeps the decisions. One app in the Elevate suite, built for mid-market and enterprise programs managing $10M–$500M in annual contingent spend.

Every workflow your program needs,
in one platform.

Invoicing & Payment
11-state invoice lifecycle, VMS fee handling, tax overrides, supplier payment orchestration, audit log.
PMO Dashboards
Real-time spend, supplier scorecards, aging analysis, SLA monitoring, executive reporting.
Statements of Work
Sourcing through vendor payment for services engagements: rule-based approvals, combinable billing models, and live budget tracking with a Do Not Exceed guardrail.
Built for networks of clients and suppliers.
Elevate operates on a network model: network owner (the PMO), multiple client entities, and a curated supplier ecosystem. Every user, every workflow, every report respects perspective: client, supplier, resource, or admin.
- 4 user perspectives · owner, client, vendor, resource
- Per-client program configuration (rates, fees, payment terms)
- Tiered supplier assignment with auto-invite rules
- Privilege system on top of roles for granular control
An invoice lifecycle
that actually works.
Eleven invoice states from draft through client-paid to vendor-paid. VMS fee math in integer cents (no floating-point drift), tax override persistence, and a full audit log on every status change.
- Ready-to-invoice dashboard aggregating approved timesheets
- Discount-from-supplier or markup VMS fee modes per client
- Withheld timecards workflow for disputes
- Supplier payments (ven_pay) for PMO-managed payouts
- PDF generation + email delivery + CSV export
Every status change logged to inv_sts_log with actor, timestamp, and reason. Six privilege codes control who can do what.
Statements of work,
governed like everything else.
Agreement terms, conditions and pricing for services vary widely across locations and providers. SOW management brings the whole services lifecycle into the same platform as your contingent labor: standardized terms, real-time budget control, and approvals that route themselves.
- Rule-based approval workflows: routing determined automatically by project value, region, or cost center
- Flexible billing models: payment requests, deliverables-based, or resource-based T&M, combined on one engagement
- SOW budget management: spend tracked live against approved budget, with a Do Not Exceed project type
- Stand-alone SOW creation: services created independently of the RFP workflow, for sole-source and renewals
- Real-time reporting: project status, budget utilization and supplier performance through the query tools
Switching does not have to take a year.
Industry-typical VMS replacements run six to twelve months. Our Frictionless Migration Program is built around a 30-day path to live, and it starts with an X-Ray of your own data.
