The problem

Without People, every end of assignment is an emergency

IT services and staffing firms juggle an ATS, a CRM, a margin spreadsheet and a timesheet tool. People brings it all together.

Timesheets in spreadsheets, approved by email

Every month your consultant emails a PDF. You chase the client for approval. You re-enter it into your invoicing tool. Three steps, three chances to get it wrong.

Margin per assignment: worked out by hand every time

Client day rate, consultant cost, duration, extra expenses. You recalculate by hand for every case. You never really know, in the moment, whether an assignment is profitable.

End of assignment discovered at the last minute

You find out a consultant finishes in two weeks. You have no replacement profile ready. The client waits. The bench starts. The margin goes.

Bench consultants invisible to the sales team

Your sales people look outside for profiles that are available in-house. Nobody has a real-time view of availability — everyone works in their own corner.

Your pool in real time

Every consultant, their status and your margin — in one place

People gives the whole team a shared view of the pool: who is on assignment, who is on the bench, and whose contract ends in 30 days.

What People does

From sourcing the consultant to invoicing their assignment, in one tool

People covers the whole life cycle of a consultant in your business — with no re-entry between steps.

01

Consultant pool with real-time availability

Every consultant — on assignment, on the bench, or finishing soon — in a view shared by the whole sales and HR team. Never again a salesperson looking outside for a profile that is available in-house.

02

Redeployment alert 30 days before the assignment ends

People alerts you automatically 30 days before each contract ends and runs AI matching between the consultant and the open client needs in Desk. The bench becomes an exception handled in advance, not an emergency found out too late.

03

Paperless, e-signed timesheets

Your consultants submit their timesheets from their People space. The client approves online with a legally binding electronic signature. Cash generates the matching invoice automatically — the whole loop, with no email and no PDF.

04

Margin per assignment, visible in real time

Client day rate, consultant cost, duration, automatic gross margin per case. You can see at a glance which assignments are profitable, with no spreadsheet to maintain. The margin recalculates itself whenever a rate or a duration changes.

05

Talent portal: your consultants keep their own details up to date

Each consultant gets a personal talent portal, connected to Marvin in real time. They set their availability, submit their monthly timesheet, upload expense claims (photo + OCR) and sign contracts electronically. Every update shows up straight away in your People pool — no email back-and-forth, no re-entry on your side.

06

Automatic 218-day tracking

People automatically tracks the 218-day threshold for consultants on umbrella or fixed-term contracts — with no spreadsheet to keep up to date. An alert fires before the threshold is crossed so you can plan the contractual decision.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about People

Do consultants get a portal to manage their own details?
Yes. Each consultant has a personal talent portal, connected to your Marvin in real time. They can set their availability (visible in your pool straight away), submit their monthly timesheet, upload expense claims and sign their contracts. You re-enter nothing — every action by the consultant updates their record in People directly.
Is People only for IT services firms, or also for traditional recruitment agencies?
People is built for any business placing consultants on client assignments: IT services firms, umbrella companies, staffing agencies, interim management firms. If you place contractors or permanent staff on client sites and handle timesheets, People is for you. For permanent recruitment agencies with no assignment management, Desk is enough.
Are e-signed timesheets legally binding?
Yes. People uses a qualified electronic signature provider compliant with the eIDAS regulation. Every signature is timestamped and archived with a full audit trail. Signed documents carry the same legal weight as a handwritten signature in France and across the EU.
How does automatic 218-day tracking work?
People automatically counts the days worked by each consultant on a fixed-term or umbrella contract and alerts you before the 218-day threshold is crossed. You can plan the contractual decision (permanent contract, renewal, end of contract) without watching each case by hand.
Does People connect to Desk and Cash automatically?
Yes. People is natively connected to Desk (client CRM, sales pipeline, candidate matching) and to Cash (automatic invoicing from approved timesheets). You re-enter nothing from one app to the next — the data flows on its own.
Is People included in the base Marvin subscription?
People is included in Desk and available depending on your plan. Details are shared during the demo, based on your consultant headcount and your specific needs (umbrella, permanent on-site, fixed-term, and so on).
