A Vendor Management System (VMS) used to find, engage, and manage a global external workforce – including temporary workers, freelancers, contractors, consultants, and service workers.
Calamari is constantly striving to account for and provide useful, practical, and simple solutions to its employees that everyone can use without significant inconvenience. Always seeking to be in an active business environment that allows them to manage the various labor policies that exist in each region and company where they work.
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.
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.

Working with my rep is so easy and has been the selling point on this platform. I like that I don't have to think about it much, love the Slack integrations for my team and how easy it was to transition from our old process into Calamari. It's simple, clear, and for a small team, it has everything I need. The customer support team has always responded promptly when I need anything, and we were even able to extend our trial period in the beginning and converted to a paying customer shortly after.
Our HR department used Excel and paper request forms for our vacation management, and tracking working hours didn't exist. We were only obliged to sign a list when we were entering the office. Calamari is a huge improvement in every aspect of time tracking and vacation management for your company. We're loving it!
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.
