Exploring the Reporting and Analytics Capabilities of SAP Fieldglass

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to highlight the Reporting and Analytics functionality within SAP Fieldglass.

Using Analytics

In the simplest terms, SAP Fieldglass is used to procure, manage, and pay for external workers. But it also helps organizations manage and track everything in between, like Job Postings, job seekers, Statements of Work, onboarding, Invoices, and so on.

But what happens to all that data? How can organizations like WorkingNet use SAP Fieldglass to access, view, and analyze their data to determine program performance or drive key business decisions?

The SAP Fieldglass Analytics module contains reporting tools that allow users to create, manage, and run reports that are essential to supporting and maintaining their program.

Run a Report

In SAP Fieldglass, users can run various reports to track metrics related to their external workforce program, such as the number of open positions, overtime labor costs, or the status of services projects.

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.

Let’s take a look at how Mavis, a Hiring Manager at WorkingNet, would search for and run a standard report on her current external worker population.

Leveraging SAP Analytics Cloud

An integration with SAP Analytics Cloud brings the ability to combine data from SAP Fieldglass with data from other SAP systems, such as SAP S/4HANA or SAP SuccessFactors. This allows users to perform cross-functional analysis and gain a holistic view of their workforce and procurement data.

SAP Analytics Cloud can combine external workforce data from SAP Fieldglass and data on the permanent workforce from SAP SuccessFactors to develop a heat map showing how a company’s total workforce is distributed across its global offices.

For example, let's say WorkingNet wants to analyze the distribution of its permanent workforce across its offices and compare it with the distribution of its external workforce. By integrating SAP Fieldglass and SAP SuccessFactors with SAP Analytics Cloud, WorkingNet can easily track its entire workforce. By creating an interactive total workforce management dashboard in SAP Analytics Cloud, WorkingNet can visualize the distribution of its workforce on a heat map showing its global offices.
