The Fundamentals
What Is a VMS and Managed Service Program?
A vendor management system (VMS) combined with a managed service program (MSP) consolidates every locum tenens vendor relationship under a single management layer. Instead of tracking contracts, invoices, credentialing timelines, and performance reports across a dozen or more separate staffing agencies, your team works through one platform and one point of contact. Fill requests go out to every qualifying agency at once, candidates come back through a single interface, and performance data is tracked across every vendor, specialty, and engagement, in real time.
For most health systems, implementing a VMS/MSP produces measurable cost reduction within the first year through improved vendor competition, elimination of redundant management overhead, and better spend visibility.

How Syncx Works
A Note on Vendor Neutrality
Syncx is a vendor-neutral platform: every qualified staffing agency participates and submits candidates on equal terms, and fill orders go out to the entire approved network, not exclusively to VeloSource. No agency gets priority placement or an inside track on open orders.
That structure is deliberate. Keeping the network competitive is what gives health systems centralized visibility and control without losing the vendor competition that keeps rates and performance honest. Agencies compete on speed, candidate quality, and price, the same as they would managing each relationship separately, just through one platform instead of a dozen.
For health systems, that means one place to see every vendor’s activity and performance side by side, without giving up the competitive dynamics that keep the market honest.
