Engie, a global energy leader, aims to build a low-carbon future. To optimize staffing with a mix of contingent and contract workforces, Engie needed real-time, transparent access to supply and demand, and streamlined workflows. The CE platform provided this, enhancing transparency and efficiency by automating timesheets, purchase orders, service entry sheets, and invoicing. This integrated SaaS platform allows Engie to manage the entire market of external workers, ensuring smooth, tailored processes and efficient workforce management.
