Outsourced workforce management

Many companies are depended on outsourced workforce. We outsource work because it is cheaper, can be delivered faster and outsourcers have competences that we don't. Despite all advantages there are also disadvantages: work can be done with bugs, deadlines missed and at the end it is much more expensive than it was expected. Beedo helps to manage outsourced workforce and to ensure that the work is done on time and at the agreed cost.

5 things why Beedo is an effective tool for managing outsourcers

• Communicate what you expect. Create tasks with information and instructions what needs to be done. This is the best way to delegate work. These notes will be your guideline when you accept the output. Check if everything you wanted is really done in the quality you specified.
  
  
• Plan daily tasks together. Have a five-minutes call/video chat at the beginning of the day. Check if outsourcer understands priorities and tasks. Beedo daily newsletter will help to track execution of priorities and tasks, work time. More about day plans.
  
  
• Set goals and priorities. You and your colleagues may know company's priorities. Outsourcers usually work remote. So they don't have possibility to understand what your company breath off. Beedo allows you easily prioritize tasks, set daily (weekly, monthly) goals and check how they were fulfilled.
  
  
• Create process for outsourcers. With Beedo you can easily create process or projects templates. Use templates and checklists with every new project. This will help to ensure the highest quality, fasten work time and avoid mistakes.
  
  

Measure work quality. Before accepting outsourced work check the quality. If you notice any problems or not everything is accomplished return task to oursourcer - change status to Rejected. Count how many rejected tasks outsourcer have and this will be the best measure of work quality. More about accepting the work.

Forecast your team's workload

Workload forecasting is important component of management software. Low workload can lead to wasted labor expense and lost motivation because employees just won't have what to do. Too big workload can result in lost sales, clients and missed deadlines.
