# Fill > Fill is an AI-native procurement and vendor management system (VMS) for the consultant and contingent workforce. European enterprises use it to source consultants, run RFPs against their own approved suppliers, govern every external worker in one record, and reconcile every cost — replacing spreadsheets, legacy VMS tools and MSP intermediaries. Fill Technology AB is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and sells to enterprises and mid-sized companies, primarily in the Nordics and Europe. The platform covers the full external-work lifecycle in one system: intake, sourcing and RFP, candidate comparison, contracting and e-signature, onboarding and compliance, time and invoice reconciliation, and spend analytics. Four buyer-side audiences use Fill — procurement, finance, HR, and hiring managers — alongside a supplier portal for the agencies, consultancies and freelancers they buy from. AI agents draft intake briefs, run RFPs, benchmark rates, track renewals, reconcile invoices and check compliance; every agent action is written to the record, and a human approves before anything moves. Fill is EU-native: EU data residency, GDPR posture, ISO 27001 readiness, and alignment with the EU AI Act and the EU Platform Work Directive. Customer data is not used to train models. Pricing is a flat platform fee with a free marketplace tier — not a percentage markup on contract value. Category and alternatives: Fill is used as an alternative to SAP Fieldglass, Beeline, and traditional Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Fill describes its own category as "consultant orchestration". ## Product - [Fill homepage](https://www.fill.work): The AI procurement system for your consultant workforce — source consultants, manage every worker, reconcile every cost. -
