In a major milestone for workforce solutions provider Matrix, the company has been named a Star Performer in Everest Group’s 2025 Global Vendor Management System (VMS) PEAK Matrix® — a respected benchmark that evaluates innovation, market impact, and customer success in the VMS space.
It’s a big moment for Matrix, especially considering this is its debut appearance on the global report.
“This recognition is a huge milestone,” said Roger Clements, Chief Growth Officer at Matrix. “It reflects the work we’ve put into building something that’s not just smart and scalable but grounded in the real-world needs of our clients. Whether it’s improving how organisations manage compliance, track temporary labour or gain better insight into spend, we’ve always focused on helping them adapt and grow.”
The Star Performer status is awarded to companies demonstrating significant forward momentum — whether through business wins, expanded offerings, or delivering tangible improvements in user experience. Matrix’s inclusion reflects an ongoing transformation of its platform over the past 12 to 18 months.
From better compliance and spend tracking to user-friendly DE&I dashboards, Matrix’s solution has matured in direct response to input from its clients, partners, and supplier networks. The enhancements haven’t just been surface-level. The team has focused on simplifying core tasks and building intelligent features that streamline decision-making across the workforce lifecycle.
“We’ve been committed to designing a platform that is intuitive, responsive and helpful, especially when the stakes are high,” said Ashley Doody, Chief Technology Officer at Matrix. “It’s why we’ve centred on using low code as development tooling, in collaboration with OutSystems, so we can stay focused on the application and impact, while our technology partner looks after the rest for us.”
“I’m incredibly proud of what our teams have delivered and this recognition from Everest validates our approach.”
Unlike many competitors in the space who pack platforms with excessive functionality, Matrix’s tech investments reflect a human-centred philosophy — combining design thinking with regulatory rigour to ensure solutions are practical and adaptable.
And the work won’t stop here.
“This award shows how far we’ve come,” added Clements, “but it also reminds us of what’s still possible. The investments we have made in our platforms will continue, with the aim of ensuring our products meet the real-time needs of our customers, now and in the future. We’ll keep building, keep listening and keep partnering with them to shape a more agile and responsive workforce future for all.”
Matrix’s next phase will centre on co-creating new capabilities with clients, deepening supplier collaboration, and helping organisations unlock smarter, faster workforce insights. For Matrix and its stakeholders, the Star Performer title is both a recognition of past effort and a launchpad for future innovation.
