Byner Announces Byner 4.0: Powering the Evolution from Staffing to Managed Project Services

UTRECHT, NETHERLANDS — Byner, the leading platform for staffing and recruitment, today announces the launch of Byner 4.0. This next-generation release marks a pivotal leap forward for the European staffing industry, providing firms with the advanced Professional Services Automation (PSA) tools needed to thrive in a rapidly shifting market.

Bridging the Gap Between Staffing and Consultancy

As the traditional business model of secondment faces increasing pressure from legislative changes, declining market volume, and rising costs, companies are seeking new ways to stay competitive and keep adding value to their customers. This is met by the fact that market requirements are becoming increasingly complex with end-customers demanding integrated service delivery and expert project management instead of individual specialists.

Byner addresses these challenges head-on by adding comprehensive PSA capabilities directly into their core staffing and recruitment platform. This allows staffing firms to expand beyond traditional professional supply and deliver full, project-based services under a Statement of Work (SOW) – all within a single environment.

A Vision for the Future of Work

“The staffing market is at a crossroads. To maintain healthy margins, drive growth and add customer value, firms must evolve from being mere suppliers of talent to becoming true strategic partners who deliver results,” says Ralph Brasker, CEO of Byner. “With Byner 4.0, we are giving our customers a head start into 2026 by providing the ‘Staffing-to-Project’ bridge. We’ve built a system that doesn’t just track and manage professionals, but manages the entire lifecycle of a project -from the initial opportunity to the final invoice – ensuring every project is predictable, measurable, and profitable.”

Co-Developing for Excellence

Byner 4.0 was developed in close collaboration with industry leaders to ensure it meets the real-world demands of complex project delivery.
“We saw our clients’ needs evolving and expanded our way of working with more project-based delivery,” says Dennis Kauwenbergh, Head of Projects at LINKIT, the developing partner for Byner PSA. “To support that extension properly, we needed software that matched how we operate in practice. That’s why we co-created PSA together with Byner. Through bi-weekly check-ins, continuous feedback, and close collaboration, we built a product we’re genuinely proud of.”
