Embedded Analytics vs. Premium Analytics Add-On
The Premium Analytics Add-On Stories
In addition to the basic predefined stories in Embedded Analytics, the Premium Add-on also includes several more expanded stories, along with the capability to customize and build new ones. This allows buyers to compare their performance and trends against benchmarks across other SAP Fieldglass programs and external data sources, providing a more comprehensive view of program performance.
| Future-Ready Workforce | This story tracks data on green skills, eco-friendly projects, and workforce training initiatives. It helps organizations measure contributions to sustainability efforts and align their workforce with green economy goals. |
| Market Intelligence | Provides data on labor market supply, demand, and rates across global locations. It supports better hiring strategies by highlighting competitive markets and aligning workforce planning with industry trends. Note: This dashboard only includes aggregated and anonymized data across the SAP Fieldglass network. It does not show individual, buyer-specific data. |
| Diversity and Inclusivity | Offers insights into workforce diversity, supplier inclusivity, and skill-based hiring by using Resume Assessment functionality. It helps reduce bias, track diversity metrics, and promote equitable hiring practices within the organization. |
| Health, Safety, and Environment | Tracks overtime hours, onboarding completion, and worker readiness. This data helps mitigate risks, improve compliance, and foster healthier and more productive work environments. |
| External Workforce Benchmarking | Compares workforce performance metrics and KPIs, such as hiring cycles and cost efficiency, against aggregated industry benchmarks across SAP Fieldglass. Note: Buyers can only compare their KPIs to other buyers if they have opted to share their data. However, if a buyer does not share data, they can still see their own KPI trends. |
| Services Benchmarking | Analyzes project efficiency, supplier performance, and cost trends in service-related procurement. It enables organizations to improve supplier relationships and achieve better project outcomes. Note: Buyers can only compare their KPIs to other buyers if they have opted to share their data. However, if a buyer does not share data, they can still see their own KPI trends. |
| Total Workforce Visibility | Total workforce visibility about the who, what, where, and when of all employees, contingent workers, and the services procured. It includes the number of people, what they are doing, and where they are located, along with costs and productivity metrics. This story supports strategic workforce planning and resource optimization. |
