In managing an external workforce, having clear, actionable insights is essential to making informed decisions and optimizing operations. SAP Fieldglass, a leading Vendor Management System (VMS), offers powerful reporting and analytics capabilities that enable organizations to monitor spend, performance, compliance, and workforce trends. While the platform includes numerous standard reports, creating advanced custom reports and dashboards allows businesses to tailor data visualization and analysis to their unique needs, driving strategic workforce management.
Standard reports provide valuable baseline information, but they often lack the flexibility to address specific business questions or integrate data across multiple dimensions. Advanced custom reports and dashboards in SAP Fieldglass enable:
Begin by identifying what information and metrics are most critical for your business. Common examples include contingent labor spend by department, time-to-fill metrics, supplier performance, compliance status, and labor category utilization.
SAP Fieldglass’s reporting module provides tools to build custom reports using drag-and-drop interfaces, query builders, and data filters. Users with the appropriate permissions can create, edit, and save report templates.
Select relevant data sources such as worker profiles, assignments, timesheets, purchase orders, invoices, and supplier details. Choose fields that capture the necessary data points for your analysis.
Customize reports by applying filters (e.g., date ranges, departments, geographies) and grouping data by key attributes like supplier, job title, or cost center to create meaningful summaries.
Enhance reports by adding calculated fields or formulas to derive new metrics, such as cost per hour, average time to onboard, or compliance scores.
Before finalizing, preview reports to ensure data accuracy and layout clarity. Adjust formatting, column order, and visual elements to optimize readability.
Dashboards combine multiple reports and visualizations into a unified interface, providing a comprehensive view of workforce data at a glance.
For organizations seeking deeper analytics, SAP Fieldglass supports integration with business intelligence (BI) tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud or third-party platforms. This enables advanced data modeling, predictive analytics, and cross-system reporting, enhancing decision-making capabilities.
Creating advanced custom reports and dashboards in SAP Fieldglass transforms raw workforce data into strategic insights that drive better decision-making, cost control, and operational excellence. By tailoring reports to specific organizational needs and building interactive dashboards, businesses can unlock the full potential of their external workforce data—empowering stakeholders to act swiftly and confidently in managing contingent labor and services procurement.
