What is Dayforce Flex Work?

Dayforce Flex Work is a mobile-first system for managing contingent labour — the agency, temporary and external workers who fill shifts alongside your permanent team. In technical terms it is a vendor management system, or VMS: software for managing the staffing agencies and worker pools you rely on.

The problem it solves

Many organisations manage contingent labour across several agencies and separate, ageing tools. That leaves managers spending hours co-ordinating between vendors, struggling to compare them, and lacking a clear view of spend. Worker quality and reliability vary from agency to agency, and billing errors quietly leak money through overpayments and inaccurate rates.

What Flex Work does

Centralises your vendors. Onboard, manage and compare all your staffing agencies and external talent channels in one place.
Fills shifts fast. Built for hourly, high-volume work, it lets managers post, approve and track shifts from a dedicated mobile app, often filling them in minutes or hours.
Optimises distribution. It prioritises the best workers and lowest-cost vendors to improve fill rates while controlling spend.
Controls cost. By enforcing agreed contract rates and consolidating invoicing — with automated invoice auditing — it helps prevent the billing leakage that creeps into manual processes.
Gives real-time visibility. Spend, vendor performance and compliance sit in one clear view.

Who it suits

Flex Work is aimed at larger, frontline-heavy organisations — think logistics, warehousing, retail, hospitality and events, manufacturing and universities — that rely meaningfully on contingent labour. It complements Dayforce Workforce Management, giving you one way to manage permanent, part-time and contract workers together.
