  • Field service management, enterprise asset management and quality management are presented as separate functional areas rather than a single priced bundle

Velocity Global

  • No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
  • The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client
