In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, effective workforce management is critical to gaining a competitive edge. Organizations increasingly rely on contingent and external labor to drive innovation, agility, and cost-efficiency. SAP Fieldglass, a leading Vendor Management System (VMS), empowers enterprises to manage their external workforce efficiently. One of its most powerful features—Workforce Analytics—enables strategic workforce planning by providing actionable insights derived from comprehensive data.
SAP Fieldglass Workforce Analytics is a robust data-driven solution designed to deliver detailed visibility into an organization’s external workforce. It aggregates data across contingent labor, services procurement, and statement-of-work (SOW) engagements, transforming raw information into meaningful intelligence. By leveraging advanced reporting, predictive analytics, and benchmarking capabilities, Workforce Analytics enables companies to make informed decisions and optimize workforce strategies.
Strategic planning involves aligning workforce needs with long-term business goals. Traditional workforce management often lacks visibility into external labor costs, utilization, performance, and compliance risks. SAP Fieldglass Workforce Analytics bridges this gap by providing:
Workforce Analytics helps uncover hidden costs and inefficiencies by providing a detailed breakdown of spend by supplier, worker classification, or service category. Organizations can negotiate better contracts, optimize supplier mixes, and reduce overspending.
By monitoring metrics like time-to-fill, worker productivity, and compliance adherence, organizations gain insight into supplier reliability and workforce quality. This enables data-backed decisions on supplier selection and workforce allocation.
Analytics help identify compliance gaps related to worker classifications, regulatory adherence, and contract terms. Proactive identification of risks prevents costly audits, fines, and legal issues.
Predictive models forecast labor demand fluctuations based on historical trends and business cycles. This empowers organizations to adjust workforce levels proactively, ensuring the right skills are available when needed without overspending.
Understanding skill gaps, engagement types, and worker availability enables strategic sourcing of talent, balancing permanent and contingent workers to maximize agility and innovation.
