SAP
  • Pros : Enterprise-wide visibility to contingent
    worker headcount. Automated
    process improves cycle times, reduces manual processes. It's best for customers who already have SAP Ecosystem. Provides a seamless integration to the Clients backend SAP system. Provides advance notification of solution upgrades, patches, and revisions, especially as it relates to cloud hosted solutions. An environment secured against security violations and threats.
  • Cons : Need a good technical and integration with right skillset. The challenge of having a good clean source of Master data. Invoice processing integration and mapping with ERP/SAP needs more improvement. Needs more improvement on cloud based help from user training point of vie.

  • Data collection - the system is robust and we can tailor it to collect the information we need.
  • Easily configurable - the system is easy to configure to meet our specific business needs.
  • Reporting and data extraction - the system allows for easy access to information that helps inform business decisions.

Cons
SAP
  • The simple display and way you navigate the jobs page is not very intuitive. There could be better information displayed than what is there, and it doesn't always make sense in how you move from one page to another.
  • I really don't like the requirement of the last 5 digits of a candidate's social security number for the "Security ID." Some candidates are reluctant to give that out, when paired with their birth day (also required). I'm not sure why this couldn't be a different piece of information - last 5 of the primary phone number, for example.
  • Some of the field are not well-defined. For example. there is a Resume field, then an Attachments field. And the rate section isn't 100% clear, especially when entering overtime rates or discounted rates.

  • Many of the improvements are being met with each upgrade. Altus Dynamics has an idea portal that customers can add ideas to and vote on other customer ideas. This means that most issues that come up are resolved with each new upgrade.

Again, Fieldglass is a strong contender but Fieldglass can be difficult at times to work with and not as supportive as I'd like. As so, I'd be willing to try Beeline or other top competitors

  • As a technician it's hard for me to say what effect the ROI has had on our organization, however our finance team seems satisfied on it. We look forward to deploying the staff dashboards for better financial tracking throughout our whole organization.
