What you need to know.
Before the cell-by-cell detail.
Boondmanager is the core ERP for French staffing firms (1300+ clients since 2009) — the reference for consultant management, timesheets, missions and day-rate invoicing. Boond added an internal-pool semantic AI matching in 2024-2025. Marvin V2 covers the same staffing scope and adds external AI sourcing, multichannel outreach, note-taker, modern client portal and an MCP Copilot — the modern ATS/CRM stack Boond has historically lacked.
