Over the past 10 years, the group has established itself as one of the European leaders in its market and aims to become a global leader by 2028. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The decision to choose <strong>VSA<\/strong> was made primarily to optimize processes<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <strong>vsa<\/strong> was implemented, the goal was to streamline billing processes and <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/all-features\/hr-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HR management<\/a> to save the teams time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Efor Group, one of the strengths of the <strong>vsa<\/strong> ERP system is that it combines business management features to oversee all operational aspects of contracts and assignments\u2014such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/5-good-reasons-to-go-paperless-for-activity-reports.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">activity report (CRA)<\/a>, time tracking, and invoicing\u2014with <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/all-features\/hr-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HRIS<\/a> features.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, in VSActivity, it is possible to manage\u2014within a single process\u2014both the <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/mission-orders-for-service-companies-and-consulting-firms.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/les-ordres-de-mission-au-sein-des-societes-de-services-et-des-cabinets-de-conseil.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assignment orders<\/a> linked to projects and contracts signed with clients, and the HR documents associated with these assignments\u2014such as consultant contracts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A multi-company environment perfectly tailored to Efor Group&#8217;s needs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a single platform that <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/why-and-how-to-centralize-your-information-system.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/why-and-how-to-centralize-your-information-system.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">centralizes all data, teams can access all of the<\/a> group\u2019s business matters across its various business units. Managers and HR can thus access the profiles of all employees across different legal entities. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a company like Efor Group, this was a very important factor in choosing an <a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/nos-solutions\/vsa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ERP solution<\/a>. With <strong>20 legal entities and 2,500 employees<\/strong>, it was essential to streamline and simplify the management of all the companies. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veryswing, an essential partner in the internationalization of business operations<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Beno\u00eet Barbier, the Veryswing team is very approachable.
