Product Description:

Ringo started back in 2001—not as a staffing platform, but as a hospital billing tool. From day one, we’ve been focused on solving operational challenges for healthcare organizations. Over time, we listened closely to the needs of our clients—particularly around the growing complexity of managing contract labor and vendor relationships. That led to the launch of our NextGen Vendor Management System (VMS) platform in 2020, which was built specifically to address those challenges in a healthcare setting.

Today, we’ve grown into a strategic partner to healthcare systems across the country. We support organizations in all 50 states and manage over 275 million dollars in annual contingent labor spend. And through it all, we’ve remained vendor-neutral—because we believe that unbiased supplier management is key to driving quality, accountability, and value.

But what really makes Ringo different is our approach. Our platform isn’t just functional—it’s transparent, efficient, and thoughtfully designed for the end user. Whether it’s a clinician, a recruiter, or a finance lead, we’ve built our tools to support them in doing their jobs better and faster.

And most importantly, our work leads to measurable outcomes. We help our clients reduce time-to-fill by enabling pre-credentialing and rapid onboarding. We deliver 15 to 20 percent savings through automated rate enforcement and streamlined time and expense processes. And we empower leadership with real-time data to drive informed, strategic decision-making.

So when we say Ringo is more than just software, we mean it. We’re a purpose-built, vendor funded, healthcare-focused partner committed to helping your organization operate with greater clarity, control, and confidence.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Fully interoperable with any nurse scheduling system

Enables health system to create their own internal agency

Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • ShiftMed uses a W2 workforce instead of a 1099 workforce, which means that the healthcare professionals who work with ShiftMed are considered employees, rather than independent contractors. By using a W2 workforce, ShiftMed is able to provide a higher level of support and stability for its healthcare professionals, and assumes the risk for its health system partners.

  • ShiftMed integrates with UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group), a workforce management and human capital management software, to provide a seamless experience for healthcare facilities and professionals. The integration allows healthcare facilities using UKG to access ShiftMed's platform and book qualified healthcare professionals directly from within the UKG platform. This helps to simplify the staffing process for healthcare facilities, enabling them to manage their workforce more efficiently and effectively.

  • ShiftMed has partnered with Uber Health to provide reliable and efficient transportation for healthcare professionals using the ShiftMed platform. Uber Health is a HIPAA-compliant transportation solution that enables healthcare providers to order rides for their patients and employees. Through the partnership, ShiftMed healthcare professionals can use Uber Health to get to and from their shifts at healthcare facilities, ensuring that they arrive on time and are able to provide high-quality care to their patients.
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Internal Resource Pool Management: Built in and prioritized vs rare or requiring work arounds
  • Credentialing & Compliance: Integrated & Automated vs Siloed or Manual
  • End-to-End Workflow: True lifecycle coverage vs. fragmented systems
  • Rate Transparency: Centralized and enforceable vs manual or vendor-controlled
Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Ringo is purpose-built focused on Healthcare ONLY vs General or Cross-Industry
  • Ringo supports expense billing for independent contractors vs systems limited to w2 engagements or require work arounds to bill expenses
  • Ringo is Vendor Neutral providing 100% unbiased taent delivery vs platforms managed by competitors operating staffing agencies and competing with their own vendors
  • Ringo can implement quickly with $0 startup costs vs. competitors who often take months and charge costly implementation fees
