About 3 Story Software
Empowering Workforce Agility, Dynamic by Design
3 Story Software (3SS) is a configurable Vendor Management System (VMS) that helps organizations and Managed Service Providers manage contingent workforce programs with flexibility, visibility, and control.
Founded in 2007 by three friends in New England who saw a better way to manage talent, 3SS began as a small team with a big idea: simplify vendor management through smart technology. What started in a colonial-style house on a handful of MacBook Pros has grown into a global SaaS platform supporting clients and partners across industries and regions.
Our Story
From the start, 3SS was built to make complex workforce management easier. The founders’ vision was simple: build software that adapts to people — not the other way around.
That focus on adaptability and user experience remains our foundation today. In 2011, 3 Story Software became part of Hays Enterprise Solutions, one of the world’s leading workforce solutions providers. The partnership gave 3SS the resources, reach, and stability to scale globally while maintaining the independence, agility, and development focus of a dedicated SaaS company.
Who We Are Today
Our platform helps clients design processes that reflect how they actually work, providing real-time visibility into spend, compliance, and performance.
At 3SS, we believe:
Configurability is power. One platform, flexible enough for any program structure.
Complexity can be made manageable. Our tools simplify administration, not capability — giving users control over intricate processes without custom development.
Security is non-negotiable. SOC 2 Type II certified and built on Microsoft Azure, 3SS meets the highest standards of privacy and data protection.
People come first. Behind every program are real relationships — and we’re here to make managing them easier.
