FleXentral: Managing the contingent workforce

The market for contingent workers grows every year. Managing this workforce gets more and more challenging because of regulatory compliance, the difficulty of finding matching employees, and keeping track of expenses. FleXentral tries to be a platform that solves these issues. The goal of this project was to build a proof-of-concept of this concept, that can be used to show the potential to customers, but that will also be used as a basis for the final application. We created a set of requirements together with our client that such a system would require, and built the first version in a span of 10 weeks. This version includes a matching module that matches flexworkers to project-managers based on their competences, a negotiation module that simplifies the process of creating a contract and a reporting module where financial and compliance data can be inspected on an organizational-, project- and personal level. The final product we delivered during this project has basic versions of these systems implemented as a modern, responsive web-application. It is far from production ready, but it is demo-ready for potential customers, and of good quality to form a strong foundation for creating a production-ready platform. We recommend that for further development, the focus should be in four directions: the matching algorithm, the compliance module, user testing and non-functional requirements as maintainability and scalability. Each of these directions should be a cycle of continuous improvement.
