Introducing Analytics & Reporting

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain the purpose and benefits of the Analytics module in SAP Fieldglass.

The Analytics Module

In the simplest terms, SAP Fieldglass is used to procure, manage, and pay for external workers and services. But it also helps organizations manage and track everything in between, like job postings, job seekers, Statements of Work, onboarding, contractual negotiations, payment calculations, invoicing, and so on.

Reports

In SAP Fieldglass, users can execute various reports to monitor metrics related to their external workforce program, such as the number of open positions, overtime labor costs, or the status of services projects, just to name a few.

Predefined standard reports are ideal for users who need quick access to commonly requested data sets, such as headcount reports or project spend overviews. In contrast, custom reports can be tailored to specific business needs, offering granular and personalized insights.

Take WorkingNet, for example. They’ve recently expanded their business model to include a number of distribution centers across the southwest United States, which store and ship necessary hardware to their main service locations. Of course, monitoring the staffing levels of these new distribution centers will be critical for WorkingNet's business operations, so Brian from the Program Office knows that creating custom reports in SAP Fieldglass is the best way to track and monitor each site's active headcount.

Whatever the reason, running and executing a report can help provide the details needed for informed, data-driven decision-making.
