"Avionté's strategic acquisition of SimpleVMS will break down the barriers between VMS and staffing ATS technologies while delivering value to employers, staffing agencies, and talent," wrote Krishna Charan, Vice President at Everest Group, and lead report author. "Moreover, it is likely to set new standards for collaboration, transparency, and efficiency in contingent talent acquisition and management, potentially strengthening its position as a market leader in the mid-market and clerical light industrial (CLI) spaces."

SimpleVMS, AviontéBOLD, and Avionté 24/7 will have a much deeper two-way integration, delivering an edge over other partnerships in the market by providing clients with one-stop solutions.

"In the rapidly evolving staffing and contingent workforce market, demand is growing for a technology platform that offers a seamless experience across the supply chain of labor," said Avionté CEO Rishabh Mehrotra. "The Everest Group report is a testament to Avionté's leadership in addressing this need directly. Staffing agencies, employers, and talent alike benefit from our ability to integrate Avionté and SimpleVMS technologies to create an end-to-end staffing and recruiting platform."

The first significant acquisition in North America that combines a staffing platform with a VMS solution, it strengthens Avionté's position as an end-to-end VMS and staffing solution provider. As the first mover, it has the potential to influence market dynamics and the competitive landscape. The acquisition offers multiple benefits to key stakeholders:

• For staffing firms, the combined ecosystem including VMS, ATS, and mobile-enabled talent marketplace, can reduce time delays, eliminate the extra effort associated with VMS interactions, and allow scaling of recruiting operations.
• Employers and MSPs benefit from accelerated requisition fulfillment and enhanced staffing vendor responsiveness. The streamlined process empowers them to respond to workforce demands and improve hiring outcomes and operational agility.
