A Vendor Management System (VMS) used to find, engage, and manage a global external workforce – including temporary workers, freelancers, contractors, consultants, and service workers.
I like the seamless functionality of Beeline and how it integrates into corporations that utilize the services for time and project tracking. Having a one-stop place for time approval and invoicing is a huge plus.
I was not an active use of Fieldglass, but based on what I saw of its interface and functionality, the candidate and requisition management functions of Beeline were far superior - easier to use, and easier to make sense of the information it was being used for.
Again, I didn't select Beeline, our clients did. But in comparing these products from a user perspective, I would rank Beeline about on par with the rest. IQNavigator and Fieldglass are probably the best ones, and Covendis is by far the worst. The rest are fairly similar, and …
Also evaluated Vndly- which was subsequently purchased by Workday. SAP Fieldglass is more effective and easier to use in my estimation. Most notably if you are an SAP shop and have Ariba and SAP ECC/S4. That full business and data integration is excellent.
SAP Fieldglass has a good, user-friendly interface, and anyone can use this tool easily. We can also integrate this tool with any third-party software. This tool provides us with real-time Analytics and a clear picture of our data.
SAP Fieldglass offers extensive capabilities for managing contingent workforce, statement of work (SOW) projects, and services procurement. It seamlessly integrates with other SAP products (e.g. SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba) and external systems, providing a unified ecosystem …
SAP Fieldglass offers great feature for managing contingent workforce with advance analytics which includes financial management, payroll and onboarding
As I mentioned, I did not specifically choose Fieldglass, as our clients made the selection. However, I can definitely compare them from a user perspective.
Fieldglass is better than WAND, Covendis, PeopleFluent, and Beeline, pretty much across the board. WAND's rate section is …
Works well for time reporting in the staffing world. Allows multiple resources to see time worked on specific projects. Lets managers also view time spent and approve those hours to ensure seamless invoicing to proper projects for time worked.
SAP Fieldglass seems to be well suited to contingent workforce management. When compared to other products I have experienced, it is more advanced. Extremely well suited if you have SAP Ariba and SAP (ECC/S4) due to the seamless, pre-built integration between SAP Fieldglass and these other SAP systems. We used it in a regional (North American) scope, but that was based on business decisions and not system limitations.
Finding existing candidates who have profiles within Beeline
Adding/removing/editing specific job categories to candidates - I often had to create two separate profiles for the same person when submitting them to different jobs within Beeline
Beeline integration with third-party Applicant Tracking Systems (such as Bullhorn ATS)
Usability to be improved (to allow more end users to act directly in the system)
Rate card management / Fx rate management
Documentation of the functionality (There is so much functionality available in the system, it would be great to receive more instructions how to configure).
AI usage to ensure more intuitive entries, based on past usage and other users' experience/work
Usage of the web interface it’s easy and user friendly. iOS app it’s quickly and simple, with just a foto it’s possible to store the invoice and system automatically recognize the expenses. Good integration with credit card company to and excellent functionality to assign the credit card expenses to relative invoice.
I think Beeline is one of the best tools, I like Fieldglass the best but beeline comes in a close 2nd. Beeline is easy to navigate around for most things, it is a little difficult to find some information however most of the time it is pretty easy and nice to use
Web interface and iOS app are so simple and user friendly. The functionality that recognizes the expenses working very well. The integration with a credit card company it’s a an excellent functionality that simplify a lot the expenses management
Again, I didn't select Beeline, our clients did. But in comparing these products from a user perspective, I would rank Beeline about on par with the rest. IQNavigator and Fieldglass are probably the best ones, and Covendis is by far the worst. The rest are fairly similar, and all have many of the same issues. Most companies don't take the time (or the VMS doesn't allow them) to simplify the software for use. There are always a ton of unnecessary and unused features that are required to fill out, or require clicking through, and it honestly wastes a ton of time. I will say, though, that I have used Fieldglass for more than one client, and it is the easiest, every time.
SAP Fieldglass offers extensive capabilities for managing contingent workforce, statement of work (SOW) projects, and services procurement. It seamlessly integrates with other SAP products (e.g. SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba) and external systems, providing a unified ecosystem for enterprises using SAP’s suite of solutions. It is highly scalable, suitable for large enterprises with complex workforce management needs.
I would have to say Fieldglass has made a positive impact, only in that having access to it has opened up some client relationships we didn't have before. I am a vendor to clients using Fieldglass, so I can't really report on the financial successes they may have had by implementing it.
The negative side to Fieldglass, or any VMS, really, from an agency perspective is that it cuts out manager contact. That has a negative impact, both to the agency and the hiring manager. No longer can the managers really explain what they need, and no longer can an agency understand the req deeply. We have to work off of a scrubbed job description which is generally pretty vanilla.
