Frequently asked questions

Workforce management from SAP comprises the activities and processes needed to manage and maintain a productive workforce—including budgeting, scheduling, forecasting, tracking employee time, and complying with regulations.

Time management capabilities in SAP SuccessFactors HCM provide robust and comprehensive coverage for various types of employees. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central helps you manage employee absences on a single cloud platform while providing basic time sheets for the salaried workforce. Advanced and complex requirements for hourly and remote workforces are addressed in SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking, which includes capabilities for digital punch clocks and clock terminal integration along with support for complex round-the-clock and cross-midnight schedules.

A vendor management system is a cloud-based platform used to procure and manage temporary, contract, or contingent workers. Most VMS applications integrate with other on-premises or cloud-based enterprise HR systems. VMS software helps enterprises gain clear insight into who is working for them, as well as where, why, when, and at which rates.

Contingent workers are individuals hired by a company to do role- or project-based work on its behalf, but not as traditional employees. They can be independent contractors, consultants, freelancers, temps, or other outsourced labor, such as gig workers. These workers can be contracted through suppliers or other talent pools, such as staffing agencies, freelance marketplaces, or a company’s HR or procurement department.
