Packaging notes

  • Workday VNDLY can operate as a VMS and can also be paired with Workday HCM, Strategic Sourcing, or Procurement; those integrations are separate scope decisions.

Geography notes

  • Global instance, local compliance, invoicing, and tax support are described at a high level; buyers should validate each country and worker type.
