The story

Founded in 2022 by Mark Ludwin, who previously co-founded Medefis (the first vendor-neutral open-market healthcare VMS, sold to Onward Healthcare/Welsh Carson in 2009). Simpliant is a pure-play VMS/ATS/SOW platform for healthcare staffing — the product wraps bill/pay/margin configuration and automated invoicing around a workforce management core, but is not a licensed financial services company and does not itself provide embedded banking, payroll, or lending.
