Mitchell International Selects Beeline to Automate the Procurement and Management of Contingent Labor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 12 -- Beeline, the human capital solutions business unit of MPS Group, Inc. , today announced that Mitchell International, Inc. has selected Beeline for Contingent Labor to automate the procurement and management of its flexible workforce.

Beeline offers a wide range of human capital-related products and services that assist companies with the acquisition and management of both full-time and contingent workers. Beeline for Contingent Labor is a Web-based application that automates and streamlines the manual processes associated with the hiring life cycle of consultants, from the creation of requisitions to the payment of suppliers. Beeline for Contingent Labor also features a comprehensive reporting component that enables users to view hiring and payment activities at any point within this process.

Mitchell International is the leading provider of data, software, and e- business solutions for the automotive insurance, collision repair, medical claims, and glass replacement industries. Providing services that enhance productivity, profitability, and customer satisfaction, Mitchell facilitates several million electronic transactions between more than 16,000 business partners each month. In addition to its significant full-time staff, Mitchell also relies on the help of contingent workers.

Mitchell needed a solution that would enable it to reduce and control costs, enhance its workflow, streamline its processes, and create a level playing field for all suppliers by basing procurement decisions on the quality of the contingent worker. Mitchell selected Beeline for Contingent Labor because the tool provided methods with which to achieve each objective. Primarily, Mitchell appreciated Beeline's workflow and notification processes that are built into the system, designed to provide controls and views into procurement activities through the full hiring life cycle. Also, Beeline's reporting capabilities are robust, allowing Mitchell to gain information at each stage of the process. In addition, Beeline can be easily integrated with other enterprise systems due to the use of XML.

"At Mitchell International, we consider ourselves a top-in-class company," said Joanne Kinsey, human resources operations manager for Mitchell. "As such, we strive to align ourselves with other top-in-class companies. Beeline has demonstrated its qualifications as a high-quality partner through its dedication and commitment to the success of our project. Beeline's levels of experience and customer service are top-notch."

"Our solution will help put Mitchell on track to achieve its strategic goals, partially by enabling its human resources representatives to focus on strategic activities, not the administrative tasks associated with recruiting and hiring," said Stephen Graziani, sales executive for Beeline. "We are going to work very hard to ensure that Mitchell realizes all of the benefits available through the implementation of Beeline."
