Concerto for Agencies
Often businesses can have diverse requirements which a single, S.M.E may struggle to adequately meet. Some will request services through formal proposals/tenders; S.M.E’s can often miss out on the opportunity in these circumstances (e.g. by paling in comparison to the larger agencies in terms of turnover and range of services).
That said, a large percentage of business is still won and maintained on the basis of quality of service and personality, the key strength of the S.M.E.
By forming alliances with other S.M.E’s, networking and sharing business you could level the playing field between the independent recruitment agencies and larger national and multinational agencies.
Concerto could enable you to gain access to greater sales opportunities and make UK-wide coverage possible in some of the country’s largest companies and organisations.
Enabling Growth
Concerto allows you to “appear” bigger, enabling you to fight for larger contracts without having to suffer the loss of your profit margins. By working with other agencies (second tier suppliers), you will be able to respond to requests from organisations that you may otherwise have been unable to reach.
Transparency
Concerto’s high visibility enables all users to track timesheets throughout their whole “life cycle” (e.g. when it is has been approved, invoiced and ultimately when payments are received). The timesheet (and invoice) approval processes are “open” and transparent to all parties, so 2nd tiers can see the progression of their timesheet – without the cloak of secrecy that is common in many competitor systems.
Reduce Administration
We have designed streamlined system processes, enabling accuracy and efficiency, freeing you from the mundane and tedious aspects of administration and allowing you to focus on sales and growth.
Manage Cashflow
In existing models, agencies often have no management over their credit control and no way of chasing debts or resolving any discrepancies. Concerto offers a transparent, simple dispute resolution process and encourages open lines of communication between all parties. Add that to our highly visible timesheet and invoice tracking and you can see exactly what you should be paid for and when!
Mutual Fairness
Concerto has been designed to encourage openness, co-operation, alliances and mutual sharing.
Our approach allows all agencies to compete on a level playing field, regardless of their size or standing in the marketplace. It also facilitates the fair split of gross profit between all parties.
