Magnit (formerly PRO Unlimited) Named a Winner in Best in Biz Awards 2018 International

Contingent workforce management leader recognized for its innovative, omnichannel VMS solution.

SAN FRANCISCO - PRO Unlimited, a global innovator of contingent workforce management software and services, has been named a winner in two categories in Best in Biz Awards 2018 International. The Best in Biz Awards International is the only independent global business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications from around the world.

Close to 300 public and private companies from all sectors of the global economy and more than 35 countries competed in Best in Biz Awards’ 6th annual International program. “Another tough decision this year,” said Cat Ellis, a UK-based editor at TechRadar who’s judged several of the past awards programs. “The standard in Best in Biz Awards International is so high, it was tough to pick an overall winner.”

Judges honored PRO’s Wand® Vendor Management System (VMS) in both the “Enterprise Product of the Year – Software” and “Most Innovative Product of the Year – Enterprise” categories. Key innovations driving the judges’ recognition included:

• Seamless Omnichannel Access: Boasting true native apps on the iPhone and Android devices, Apple iPad and even the Apple Watch, Wand Mobile allows users to manage the full contingent workforce lifecycle from anywhere. The latest addition to the Wand Mobile family is the Wand Mobile Supplier App, an industry-first app that enables account managers, recruiters and billing specialists to increase their productivity on the go.
• Powerful Self-Sourcing Capabilities: Wand’s Talent Network module allows clients to easily create their own private, self-sourced candidate pool. Furthermore, Wand uses industry-first resume parsing and Candidate Matching technologies to automatically suggest candidates to managers based on a proprietary algorithm. This leads to faster decision-making and helps organizations gain a competitive advantage.
• Consumerized Design: Built by PRO’s Silicon Valley-based development team, Wand went through exhaustive end-user research and use case study to deliver a product that’s actionable and intuitive.
• Total Resource Visibility: With Total Talent Solutions, a groundbreaking extension of the Wand Discovery business intelligence platform, “power users” can combine contingent and full-time workforce data to drive unprecedented insights into the best ways to engage talent from a cost, risk and quality perspective.

PRO combines the world’s most tenured, purely vendor-neutral Managed Services Program (MSP) with Wand, its best-in-class VMS. Together, this unique integrated offering provides clients (enterprise procurement and HR directors, MSP consultants, supply chain directors, contingent workers, and managers) with a comprehensive workforce management solution.

Winners in the 6th annual Best in Biz Awards International program were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of judges hailing from a wide spectrum of top-tier publications and media outlets from 12 countries.
