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

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.

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.

Project Manager in Information Technology (10,001+ employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For many years my company has been using Fieldglass as system for SOW creation and procurement process in approx. 10 counties which is quite limited with what the tool is offering. The process within application has been managed by external workforce agency to offer workers for projects and service request. In the tool we can document requirments for the SOW, involve internal stakeholders to build details of service requests and get approvals for scope and budgets. Once the external workers are onboarded the tool is used to monitor the progress and budget utiliziation, approve timesheets montly.

Pros

  • Easy to configure without need for specialized consultants
  • out of the box end to end process
  • integration with Employee Central and other SAP products

Cons

  • pricing model if you want to have a master of records for all external workers

Return on Investment

  • external workforce transparency
  • system of records for external workers
  • procurement transparency
