Placement is the start of the work, not the end of it
Sommet360 gives recruitment and staffing agencies one platform for placed-worker time, approvals, contracts and client visibility — from first assignment to final timesheet.
A week in agency operations
Sourcing gets the attention. Everything after the start date is where agency margin is actually won or lost.
Nine workers begin at four client sites. Each needs a contract signed, policies acknowledged and a way to record hours before the first shift.
Asks whether last week's hours for their three workers are final. The answer depends on a timesheet still sitting in someone's inbox.
Spends the morning chasing timesheets instead of filling the next role — the highest-cost admin task in the business.
Leaves an assignment early. Their recorded hours must still be complete and approved for the final invoice.
Runs the weekly cycle from approved hours — or from whatever arrived in time.
Invoice queries trace back to timesheets that were approved verbally and never recorded anywhere.
Where staffing operations strain
High volume and high turnover magnify every manual step in the post-placement process.
Billing depends on hours being submitted and approved on time, every week, by people who are not your employees' managers.
Contracts and policy acknowledgements have to complete before the first shift, or the placement itself is at risk.
The client supervisor approves the hours, but your agency carries the billing and compliance consequence.
Assignments end, restart and change site constantly, so records must stay complete for workers who have already left.
Each client wants hours, absence and cost for their own placed workers, in their own cycle.
Temporary work is closely regulated; evidence must be retrievable per worker and per assignment years later.
Operations for the placed workforce
Sommet360 handles the operational layer between the placement and the invoice.
Workers record time from mobile at the client site; the client supervisor approves in their own scoped view, so nothing depends on chasing.
Assignment contracts and policy acknowledgements complete digitally, so day one is never delayed by paperwork.
Each client sees only the workers placed with them, with hours and absence available without an export.
Workers move between sites and assignments while their working time and document history stays continuous and complete.
Most of your workforce never opens a laptop
Placed workers record hours, submit expenses, request absence and sign documents from their phone — which is the only way weekly timesheet accuracy becomes realistic at volume.
- Clock-in and timesheet entry from mobile
- Digital signing without printing or scanning
- Policy acknowledgement tracked per worker
Capabilities across the assignment lifecycle
The same platform from first contract to final approved timesheet.

Why this protects agency margin
Agency profitability is decided by how many placements one consultant can support.
When timesheet approval happens in the client's own view, the weekly chase disappears from your consultants' workload.
Approved hours exist as records with timestamps, so invoices are substantiated at the moment they are raised.
Onboarding, time capture and approvals are templated per client, so doubling placements does not double administration.
