SAP FieldGlass
SAP Fieldglass is SAP’s market-leading vendor management system (VMS) for contingent labor, independent contractors, statement of work workers and outsourced services. Organizations, no matter their size, often struggle to source and engage external workers efficiently while competing for the best talent. The value proposition of SAP Fieldglass is simple: software that focuses on the management of external workers, from determining staffing requirements (as part of recruitment and sourcing), through active management of ongoing engagement and service orders, to billing and invoicing of the time, expenses, and services performed.
SAP Fieldglass can be used as standalone software solution, or as an integral part of sophisticated IT system landscapes through integrations with other applications and systems. When companies choose an integrated solution, this is often due to the scale and scope of external workforce management, as well as considerations about IT security, compliance, and corporate strategy. Most common are integrations with HR or other employee management systems (i.e., to provide total workforce management) or to ERP and procurement solutions for seamless procurement, requisitioning and purchasing, and invoicing. Other supporting integrations relate to master data, time recording, and peripheral systems for onboarding and asset management.
The basic functions of SAP Fieldglass are divided into four procurement processes that can be used independently of each other:
For classic, temporary external labor, the Contingent module is used.
The Services module supports statement of work contracts and service-related external workforce, which can include an optional bidding process.
The Assignment Management module is used to support contingent workers assigned multiple tasks and engagements under umbrella supplier agreements.
The Profile Worker module is used to simply track external workers without subsequent invoicing.
