DENVER, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IQNavigator, the leading, independent provider of non-employee workforce management solutions, continues to achieve key milestones in its product roadmap with major platform enhancements that help companies manage their contingent workforce more strategically and efficiently. 

IQNavigator introduced new capabilities of its Vendor Management System (VMS) solution to customers during the second half of 2014, and the Company will continue to focus on key milestones that deliver significant value and a better customer experience in the coming months.

Recently launched product enhancements include:

• IQNtelligence: Powerful analytics driven by business intelligence (BI) capabilities that are embedded into the IQNavigator platform. IQNtelligence, which is available to all system users, enables customers to have greater insight into their contingent workforce, manage that workforce in more informed ways, and generate compelling reporting for constituents that are monitoring ROI.

• Ariba Integration: Integration with Ariba software, which enables customers to manage their IQN assignments in Ariba and automate vital steps in the contingent labor engagement process.

• Invoice, Timecard, Overtime and SOW Management: New capabilities that enable companies to manage invoicing, timecards, overtime and SOWs in a more streamlined way.

"We listened to our customers and promised a lot when we unveiled our product roadmap at the IQNsiders event last year, and I am pleased to report that we have delivered on those promises," said Joe Juliano, president and CEO, IQNavigator. "We are the only independent company in the VMS market to have this level of transparency about our roadmap, and that has tremendous value for our customers. It gives them a clear, reliable timeline of what functionality is in the works, when it will be in their hands, and when they can start using it to address the rapidly evolving needs of managing contingent workers. What we delivered in 2014 was only the beginning. I am really excited about furthering our customer experience for the coming year."

IQNavigator will deliver the following product enhancements in the coming months:

• IQN Labs Deliverables: IQNavigator will complete the inaugural data science projects being conducted in partnership with major customers, including a large manufacturing company and a large entertainment company. The focus of these initial projects include reducing time to fill, maximizing ROI for contingent worker programs and quantifying the impact of VMS. IQNavigator will deliver enhanced functionality to all of its customers based on the outcomes of these IQN Labs data science initiatives.
