SAP Fieldglass vs. Workmate

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.

Workmate has helped us a lot in the failures we had in the payroll, which was one of the biggest problems we had in the department and of which there had already been complaints from employees. But since we have this software in the office, employees are already satisfied with their payments and we in the department are happy to use it.

• Contingent labor process, starting from the job posting to final candidate onboarding
• Supplier and Customer collaboration options in the system
• Configuration options for customers
• Management of service delivery and service contract setups
• Option to establish a true end-to-end process (from source2contract to final payment)

• Tracking time and attendance.
• Monitoring of task force.
• Implemented payroll options.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• We are having problems with printing checks, we are verifying if it is a system problem or a problem with the company's internal computers.
• The software was a little confusing at first, we had a hard time adapting to it.
• Their customer service is not very attentive, we tried to call several times and they never gave us an answer.

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

The training came from one of our associates it was not directly from a Workmate employee, however, it was good enough to let us understand it, and the person who gave us the training was open to ask questions even after the training ended, however as it was really easy to use, we only contacted him for small details.

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.

It was not my decision to use it, it was the software available for that current campaign in the company, being honest while both of them are excellent to work with, the design in OnShift is more user friendly, most of my colleagues were in agreement with that, as for Workmate, it was really helpful but some times we were confused by the user interface, it wasn't very negative but it really gets on your nerves.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Post deployment support is not the best.
• Posts go live with bugs.
• Support
