Integration with other ERP, HR and procurement tools - SAP Fieldglass solutions build, own and maintain integration with other SAP solutions such as SAP Ariba solutions, SAP SuccessFactors solutions and SAP S/4HANA. The tools are also deeply integrated with key digital partners such as DocuSign.

 

Configurable systems and self-service administration tools - The intelligent configuration manager tool is comprised of five components: integration tools, partner management, single sign-on, publish and subscribe framework and implementation tools.

 

Global support - SAP Fieldglass solutions include localised employment rules and tax tables for 190 countries and 21 languages. Our customer support is also fluent in 21 languages to address tech support needs.

 

Comprehensive customer support - From programme kickoff through ongoing support, SAP offers an expert team to make sure that our tools deliver value to customers every day.

 

Self-service IT tools - IT departments are regularly required to switch out certifications for single sign-on and other licences. SAP Fieldglass solutions make it easier for IT departments to manage these tasks using self-service tools, reducing the need to submit help tickets and wait for weeks for the change to take effect.

Support for unique worker scenarios - SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management accommodates the many different pay rates that correspond with the many different tasks these workers will perform daily.

 

Team-based management and approval workflows  - Some companies will staff entire working groups as a crew or gang. This is especially prevalent in railroad companies, which will hire repair crews in this way or consulting firms that have a team of resources working on a single customer-facing project. The review and approval of the worksheets for the group can be performed within SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management.

 

User- and line-of-business-based visibility - Customers can suppress or restrict select fields based on category of spend to simplify workflows and reduce errors. Reporting visibility and analytics can be driven by the user and line of business. For example, a hiring manager may need access only to their workers and projects, while an executive will need visibility into the contingent workforce across the enterprise.

 

Working with sensitive materials - SAP Fieldglass solutions (SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management and SAP Fieldglass Services Procurement) can capture security certifications for external workers.

 

Global tax engine, translations, pay and rate rules engine, tenure management and invoice format compliance - Global corporations use contingent workers in countries around the globe. SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management is a global application that can accommodate local needs through its tax engine, translations, pay and rate rules engine, tenure management, pay parity and invoice format compliance.

 

Tracking employees with a security ID - SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management maintains an ID for each worker that enters the customer database. Onboarding, offboarding and historical data can be linked to a security ID, offering a variety of benefits, including the ability to track rehire eligibility status.
