Contingent Workforce & Labor Cost Optimization

Take Control of Contingent Labor Spend With One Vendor-Neutral Platform

Prolucent's LiquidCompass platform unifies internal float pools and external agency labor on a single vendor-neutral system, covering orders, fulfillment, credentialing, invoicing, and analytics across every facility. Trusted by Northwell Health and Houston Methodist, and backed by a strategic investment from Northwell Holdings, Prolucent offers service models from technology-only to full managed services, so health systems can reduce agency dependency at their own pace.

The Challenge

The Healthcare Contingent Workforce & Labor Cost Optimization Challenge

Runaway Agency Spend

Travel and agency labor has become one of the largest uncontrolled budget lines, with no unified system to manage it.

Siloed Staffing Pools

Internal float staff and agency labor live in separate systems, hiding lower-cost internal options and duplicating effort.

Inconsistent Credentialing

Contingent worker compliance is tracked differently across departments and facilities, creating risk and administrative burden for HR.

Limited Vendor Visibility

Buying labor from multiple agencies without vendor-neutral data makes it hard to compare performance or control markup rates.

Lagging Labor Analytics

Leaders lack real-time views of utilization, cost per shift, and agency trends, so targets are hard to set.

Fragmented Technology

Separate scheduling, VMS, timekeeping, and billing systems cause integration failures, manual reconciliation, and delayed decisions.

The Prolucent AP3 Solution

Contingent Workforce & Labor Cost Optimization

01

One Vendor-Neutral Platform

LiquidCompass manages internal staff, per diem pools, and external agency labor in a single system, replacing a stack of disconnected tools.

02

Prioritized Shift Distribution

Tiered assignment sends open shifts to internal workers first, then external sources, based on availability and preference, reducing agency dependency over time.

03

Contract-Based Billing

Worker agreements drive invoice calculations, making billing transparent and reducing disputes and reconciliation work for finance and AP teams.

04

Credentialing & Compliance Tracking

Customizable, task-driven tracking by department and job keeps every contingent worker onboarded and compliant with less administrative effort.

05

Flexible Service Models

Choose technology-only or full vendor-neutral MSP services covering agency management, benchmarking, rates, and fulfillment, without a staffing agency's conflict of interest.

06

Real-Time Workforce Analytics

Enterprise-wide reporting on utilization, cost per shift, agency performance, and fill rates, with native integrations into timekeeping, HRIS, ERP, and AP systems.

The goal is not simply managing agency relationships. It is a disciplined, technology-enabled workforce strategy that lowers total contingent labor spend while improving efficiency and workforce stability.
