The 5 Most Common Barriers to Switching to a New VMS

Why Switching to a New VMS is Easier Than You Think

For many healthcare organizations, the thought of switching to a new Vendor Management System (VMS) can be daunting. Concerns about cost, implementation timelines, staff training, and integration often deter decision-makers from making a move—even when their current system is failing them. But the reality is, sticking with an outdated, inefficient VMS costs you more in lost revenue, unfilled positions, and unchecked labor expenses.

At Ringo VMS, we break down the barriers to switching, making the transition seamless, scalable, and highly beneficial for your bottom line.

The 5 Most Common Barriers to Switching to a VMS and How Ringo Overcomes Them

1. The Cost Concern: Will Switching Really Save Us Money?

The biggest risk is not switching but sticking with a reactive workforce management system that does not meet your needs.

  • Lost revenue from unfilled positions.
  • Unchecked labor expenses and rising contingent workforce costs.
  • A lengthy, inefficient implementation process with no consultative support.
  • Limited data insights and no transparency into spend.
