A Vendor Management System (VMS) used to find, engage, and manage a global external workforce – including temporary workers, freelancers, contractors, consultants, and service workers.
This is software that will be very useful for all companies since they will be able to control the entries and exits of their employees in their jobs, the hours worked, shift changes, and everything related to the performance of the staff. They will not have to worry about personnel planning because the software will do it.
The good thing is that SAP Fieldglass has an automated function, so we can easily manage the hiring process, check that all workers comply with labor laws, and manage the onboarding process. SAP Fieldglass is a very expansive VMS for small organizations, and the user interface is very difficult to understand for new users.
Although you can use the software in its web version and its mobile version, I feel that the mobile version is not as intuitive as the web, leaving out important functions.
I wish the technical support would provide more help in terms of configuring the software, as we had to install it blindly.
Sometimes the software slows down and freezes, we haven't checked yet if that affects the employees' hour counter, I guess not, as we haven't received any complaints from them.
Again, Fieldglass is a strong contender but Fieldglass can be difficult at times to work with and not as supportive as I'd like. As so, I'd be willing to try Beeline or other top competitors
We were given a dedicated customer service rep that is there whenever we need them. Emails are answered within hours and the knowledge base they have has many of the answers including easy to follow how-to's. We haven't run into any issues that can't be solved in less than 24 hours.
Celayix is a flexible and powerful employee scheduling tool with a secure online cloud used to create and edit schedules. It is the very best automated scheduling solution that allows us to manage the workforce digitally and it is a great resource for any organization.
Also evaluated Vndly- which was subsequently purchased by Workday. SAP Fieldglass is more effective and easier to use in my estimation. Most notably if you are an SAP shop and have Ariba and SAP ECC/S4. That full business and data integration is excellent.
I would have to say Fieldglass has made a positive impact, only in that having access to it has opened up some client relationships we didn't have before. I am a vendor to clients using Fieldglass, so I can't really report on the financial successes they may have had by implementing it.
The negative side to Fieldglass, or any VMS, really, from an agency perspective is that it cuts out manager contact. That has a negative impact, both to the agency and the hiring manager. No longer can the managers really explain what they need, and no longer can an agency understand the req deeply. We have to work off of a scrubbed job description which is generally pretty vanilla.
