In today’s dynamic workforce landscape, organizations are increasingly leveraging contingent labor alongside permanent employees to remain agile and competitive. To effectively manage this blended workforce, SAP offers two powerful solutions: SAP SuccessFactors, a leading Human Capital Management (HCM) suite for core HR and talent management, and SAP Fieldglass, a comprehensive Vendor Management System (VMS) designed to manage external workforce and services procurement. Integrating these two platforms unlocks immense value by enabling seamless workforce management, operational efficiency, and data consistency.

It streamlines the entire lifecycle of external workforce management, from requisition to invoice, ensuring compliance, cost control, and visibility.
