Managing multiple staffing agencies to hire contract based employees
Onboarding and off-boarding employee

Cons

The user interface can be more intuitive, unified
Customisation could be even more better
Provisioning of real time support like analytics and dashboards

Return on Investment

Reduced cost of hiring
Faster hiring process
Centralised management of vendors , staffing agencies , etc
Accurate timesheet management

Sid Vatharkar

HR Planning Manager in Engineering at BT (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It helps us better manage our contingent workforce especially with their profiles across several locations be that in the our UK or non UK offices. As we use other SAP modules it integrates well. The analytics it provides has proved very useful too in managing and optimising our costs and ultimately delivering a good outcome to our end customers.

Pros

Customised Analytics
Well laid out UX
Feeds into our labour strategy

Cons

It's great that it's customisable but it can be overwhelmingly complex if you don't think of your structure well

Return on Investment

Better legal and financial compliance
Better understanding of our overall end to end product delivery costs when contingent workforce is considered.

Platform manager in Information Technology at Mosaic (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Fieldglass, integrated with other SAP solutions such as VIM, MM, and Ariba, to support our procurement operations. There are cases where we need to manage the workforce from a procurement perspective to ensure the worker is doing what is expected, and we correlate the payout with the outcome.

Pros

Manage 3rd party workforce.
Cost management associated to the outcome.

Cons

Integration issues.
Sync recover.

Return on Investment

ROI is impacted by integration issues.
Lack of confidence due to the issues.

Alternatives Considered

SAP Ariba and SAP Master Data Governance

Strategic Procurement Manager in Professional Services at DXC Technology (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses SAP FG for the following: Standardized competitive sourcing process to find candidates with the right skills at compliant with market rate table. It is a centralized platform for managing the entire contractor lifecycle from hiring to payment. Integration with DXC's procurement and approval workflows. Visibility into contractor workforce and spend management. Reporting is accurate and very useful.

Pros

Contractors Sourcing
Timesheet management
Invoice processing and confirmation
Track approval process

Cons

Multi Taxes for states/provinces are not calculated correctly.
When timesheets approvals have an issue, they are not easy to fix, requires more technical experts to fix it.
Timesheets need to repush because they don't flow correctly and suppliers don't get paid on time.

Return on Investment

SAP FG is a single platform we use.
Streamline workflow- visible to Supply Chain, Business Units, Executives, etc.
Faster hiring that helps DXC achieve revenue targets
Spend tracking and budget control. Once the budget is approved, a new request needs to be submitted.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It helps provide a centralized system where we can track worker details. contract dates, rates, approvals, documentation, and supplier performance. It is quite useful in that it provides good visibility into external workforce spending, any inconsistent hiring process, or excessive manual coordination among hiring managers, procurement, staffing suppliers, etc.

Pros

Central External Workforce Management.
Standardized Hiring and approvals.
Integration with other SAP systems.

Cons

Some fields have too many fields and tabs which can be worked upon.
Better search and filtering capability.
Mobile experience for approvals, timesheet candidate review, etc., should be added to enhance management's experience in an on-the-go setup.

Return on Investment

Better visibility of the spent management on the contingent worker.
Reliable information to take informed decision for the leadership.
