SAP Fieldglass - A great tool to manage contractors

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We uses 2 module for SAP Fieldglass i.e. Profile Worker and Contigent Worker Module. We had a lot of integration issue between the bhoomi, S4 Hana and our PDF form. SAP has tried their best to resolve most of the problem.

Pros

  • Managing of contractors

Cons

  • Integration with 3rd party tools, Interactive PDFs
  • Currently if the information is updated in S4 I.e. if the project is closed then SAP Fieldglass doesn't get updated.

Return on Investment

  • SAP Fieldglass saved a lot of time and we have all information for contractor at a one place.

Highly configurable and good analytics to help contingent workforce management

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

SAP Fieldglass review.

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.

SAP Fieldglass for third party coworkers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to onboard our third-party contractors.

Pros

  • It is a great tool to onboard third-party coworkers, especially those who often leave and come back. Having consolidated IDs ensures that there are no duplicate profiles and helps keep track of employment history.

Cons

  • Integrations - in my opinion, building integrations and maintaining them are a bit confusing.

Return on Investment

  • It has helped us move our manual tracking of third-party coworkers into a systematic process. It has reduced manual keying errors and has helped bring them into Employee Central, which provides a single stop for all talent tracking.
