We use SAP Fieldglass for contractor timewriting and cost center allocations.
  • Time approvals for contractors
  • Exception time
  • Routing approvals
  • It was hard to locate where to change the cost center for contractors to split their time to two different projects.
  • Warn if I missed approving a timesheet in the past which is not in the range of the timeframe filter.
Great for contractor time writing and approvals.

It is use as an client portal in our office. From where we extract the candidate details and enter them into JOB DIVA'S profile so that the working hours can be automatically fetch from the client portal. And we also extract weekly report from SAP Fieldglass in excel form to know the working hours of the candidates. And we can also get the information from it that what is the bill rate and pay rate of the candidate.
  • Important information of candidates
  • Help to know that Bill Rate and Pay Rate of the candidates
  • help to know the worker ID of the candidates
  • Need to be changed User-interface because it bit difficult to some segment
  • sometimes it takes too much time to fetch the candidate's details. Loading time is too high.
  • If you do not have high-speed internet then it loads very slowly
Although there are not many shortcomings in it, but if we talk about advantages, then we can avail many benefits from here. Like we can easily search any candidate details and setup coddler in in JOB DIVA so that we can easily get the working hours. And we can easily get the pay rate and the bill rate of the candidates. And also we can get easily work week of the candidates.

The implementation of the solution and dependencies with S4 have created significant challenges with the solution. we have seen data duplication at high amounts.
  • user interface seems solid
  • Data management
  • support and usability
I think the challenges we have is that the team implementing with SAP allowed to many customizations which created a complexity that make the product hard to use and creates failures across the product set.

I use FIELDGLASS for following:
1. SoW management
2. Timesheet Management
3. Contracts Management
4. Resource Management and reporting
  • SoW Management
  • Timesheet Approvals
  • Reporting on cost center data for workers
  • Reporting format for historic timesheets
  • to get dashboard reporting for each worker
It is well suited for SoW management, timesheets
Less suited to manage third party resources

I've used Fieldglass to help with invoices in the past, and I appreciate how simple and logically the programme is laid out. I had to contact support, and they were helpful in answering my inquiries.
  • Has all procurement details
  • Intuitive design
  • Streamlining contingent workforce management
  • Very costly
  • Support from Fieldglass team could have been better.
  • Some issues faced during third party integrations
Using a single dashboard, we can manage both workers and contractors thanks to this cloud-based vendor management solution. We can efficiently manage purchasing, invoice production, and payments thanks to the centralised platform. The ability to manage the time and expenses of temporary staff is one of SAP Fieldglass' finest capabilities, along with its assistance in vendor and expense management. It also offers beneficial analytics and reporting features that give us cost information. The technology has proven to be quite beneficial for our business because it helps with compliance management with regard to things like pay and labour rules, among other things. Overall, SAP Fieldglass is an essential tool for companies trying to enhance their management of contingent workers.

I am a user that is in the tool every single day. We currently use Fieldglass to manage our contingent workforce of over 18,000 employees. One big issue we face is pricing/rate visibility and Fieldglass allows total transparency between our suppliers to know we are getting the market value while also displaying market trends. On top of this, SAP is always ahead of the game with KPIs and investing in the new and improved technology which we then reap the benefits of in our system after big releases and software updates.
  • Pricing Visibility
  • Market trends
  • Technology upgrades
  • Improved connector descriptions
  • More educational opportunities for quick info
I have some limited experience with other VMS tools and still will prefer Fieldglass over the others. It's user friendly and more integrated with the various other systems we use. SAP gives a level of visibility and user experience that is second to none. They invest in their tool and it shows.

Contingent labour
  • Time sheet approvals for contractors
  • Inventory of externals reporting to managers
  • User experience is dated
  • Records/Fields can be confusing
  • Limited on-boarding capabilities
Perfect for time sheet approvals, also via mobile/email
User interface is not so good

Hire external consultant and monitor contract for external consultants. Fieldglass also allow us to connect with our approved partners and promote job posting through partners. It tracks all candidates and salary position. It also has approval for job posting along with interview scheduling. Candidates can be screened and interview can be setup using Fieldglass
  • interview scheduling
  • approval
  • candidate screening
  • job posting
  • candidate overview
  • overall search
Appropriate for contractors and not linked to company HR system for FT as it is not connected with HR. External Contractors can be easily setup and screened as it has data base of all the approved supplier. It can post the job to all the supplier in one go. It can also scan all candidates at same time.

I use SAP Fieldglass to approve contractor's timesheet. It is also used for hiring contractors and also renew their contract. It is integrated with SAP Finance and Budget module
  • It is simplifies contractor's hiring process.
  • It is makes it very easy for contractor to enter their timesheet and for manager to approve it.
  • It is seamlessly integrated with SAP.
  • If manager does not review contractor's contract in time, Manager has to create a new request.
It is best suited to manage contractor's recruitment and their timesheet.

SAP Fieldglass has been a great tool to centralize Contingent Labor strategy by unlocking visibility, savings, and risk mitigation opportunities. It also seamless plugs in to the broader SAP ecosystem creating and beyond helping harness data across multiple functions to enable the business to make more strategic decisions and a macro & granular level visibility into multiple practice areas.
  • Data centralization
  • Clean user interface
  • Enables process efficiencies
SAP Fieldglass is the perfect fit where a customer has a decentralized contingent labor process. That paired with the presence of SAP within the organization makes it a seamless decision for the broader enterprise. Given that FG is a mature player in this sector, it makes sense if there is a certain spend threshold in place when it comes to reliance on Contingent Labor resources.

We utilize Fieldglass as the end to end solution for managing the contingent workforce. This has streamlined our process dramatically and automated where it was previously manual.
  • Automation
  • End to End Contingent Worker Tracking
  • Invoice Management
  • Reporting. There is a massive amount of room for improvement
  • The support needs improvement as well as organizational knowledge, which much as left SAP
It is very well suited for a gen one program that didn't have a program in place previously and lacking automation. it is excellent for automation and streamlining of the process.

We use Fieldglass for contractors. In my personal experience i think the standard reporting for timebooking can be improved. Also, for job opportunities - the user experience to communicate to multiple vendors can be improved. it's a great platform overall.
  • time booking approval
  • revising existing contract
  • job opportunities
  • timebooking report-free date range
  • interaction with vendors for new opportunity
managing contractors and scheduling interviews for new openings

Fieldglass SAP keeps our travel assignment shifts easily assessable and when there is an issue easy to dispute, the software is easy to use. It helps to facilitate the billing for two parties in a third party system. It has everything we need in one spot. It’s super fast and laid out the way we would want it to be.
  • Ease of use
  • Speed of use
  • Detail layout
  • Design
  • Nothing it’s perfect
  • Notifications are even on par!
Third party staffing, healthcare travel staffing. Payroll, Invoicing side needs of the process. Best suited for travel nurse assignments. Less appropriate would be anything outside of staffing.

Fieldglass is used for contingent workers. We use the CPI version. With Asapio coming into the picture it has made the process very efficient. Our contingent workers log time and expense through FG. It has made hiring and assigning work to the group pretty easier to manage. HR teams are very happy with the product and its support.
  • Time Entry
  • Expenses
  • Cost Object Integration
  • Performance is slow at times
  • Support needs to improve a lot
  • Automation is tough
It is best suited for contingent workers

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.

We use SAP Fieldglass to manage all of our contingent workforces. The business problems that Fieldglass addresses are eliminating the use of manual invoices and bulk hiring for our factories and warehouse and allowing real-time data tracking for our supply chain.
  • Spend management; I love that Fieldglass provides not only my team but the hiring managers with the current total spend for a worker upfront.
  • Keeping track of all of our contractors in one place.
  • It is user friendly, it is easy for all of my stakeholders to navigate.
  • Server issues, any time there is a server overload, our instance of Fieldglass completely shuts down, sometimes for hours, sometimes for days.
  • The mobile app isn't very functional for hiring managers.
  • There is a lot of difficulty integrating Fieldglass with other non SAP products.
I like the basic functionality of Fieldglass, but I know there's more. I want to be able to use Fieldglass to its full ability, but we are having a hard time getting someone technical (not sales) to sit down with us and do a complete rundown of what we have and what is available, and what we should be using to optimize our Fieldglass experience.

IT contingent force hiring and management.
  • Engages suppliers.
  • User experience.
  • Reporting.
  • integration to other SAP tools, ex SuccessFactors or S/4 Hana ECC.
  • integration to Icertis/contract management tools.
For contingent labor, the tool is fantastic in generating a high number of qualified candidates; on the other end, the management of time sheets and integration to SAP is difficult, and there is no out-of-the-box integration to SAP for invoicing.
