Our take
Workrise builds a workforce management platform that connects skilled laborers with employers in the energy industry, with a focus on reliability and efficiency. Serving over 700 energy companies and 5,000 workers, it stands out by helping fast-growing businesses in clean energy hire large workforces quickly.
Recently, Workrise launched Workrise Vendor Management, designed to simplify the energy sector's complex source-to-pay process. It consolidates vendor discovery, onboarding, compliance, invoicing, and insights into one platform, streamlining operations for energy companies that typically use multiple tools for these tasks.
As a leader in labor and supply chain solutions, Workrise offers its Vendor Management platform free for vendors. This launch marks the first in a series of products aimed at transforming the way the energy industry operates, positioning Workrise for exciting growth in the rapidly evolving market.
