Five stages. Click any one to see how it lands in the platform.

Every stage carries the data forward. Nothing is re-typed. Procurement, hiring managers and finance all see the same record, scoped to what they need.

  • Role-profile templates for common engineering vacancies

02. The back office

Self-billing and PO management. Built in.

Finance teams typically spend more time on contractor invoicing than on the work it represents. Source Centre collapses dozens of invoices into one, reconciled against POs and placements.

Module · Self-billing

One invoice per supplier per cycle.

Replaces twenty-plus agency invoices a month with one reconciled remittance per supplier. Every line traceable back to a timesheet, a placement and a PO.
