Guru.com vs. SAP Fieldglass

VERY useful for small companies where one person does an entire job/task. May be less useful for larger companies, as it would be difficult to maintain, and there are usually teams to cover the slack. Also good for tech purposes. Our tech people constantly create Guru cards in order to help us learn to do back-end things.

SAP Fieldglass seems to be well suited to contingent workforce management. When compared to other products I have experienced, it is more advanced. Extremely well suited if you have SAP Ariba and SAP (ECC/S4) due to the seamless, pre-built integration between SAP Fieldglass and these other SAP systems. We used it in a regional (North American) scope, but that was based on business decisions and not system limitations.

• The segmentation of information into Collections, boards and individual cards allows you to keep a good control and organization of information contained within.
• An add-on app for Slack and a Chrome extension mean you don't even need to have the Guru.com site open to still be able to access all of your stored information.
• The ability to allow some or all users to create & edit cards adds value and strengthens the team collaboration.

Incentivized

• SAP Fieldglass is a VMS tool that automates sourcing and identifying supplies, reducing time and fulfilling requirements promptly.
• Its provide us detailed visibility and compliance in hiring process.
• SAP Fieldglass ensures company rules and legal processes during the onboarding and helps to manage the onboarding process.

Incentivized

• Relatively high fees taken out of earnings
• Fake clients still get through, which causes a headache
• Having to pay to get your bid higher up in the list of freelancers makes it even more costly

Incentivized

• Usability to be improved (to allow more end users to act directly in the system)
• Rate card management / Fx rate management
• Documentation of the functionality (There is so much functionality available in the system, it would be great to receive more instructions how to configure).
• AI usage to ensure more intuitive entries, based on past usage and other users' experience/work

Again, Fieldglass is a strong contender but Fieldglass can be difficult at times to work with and not as supportive as I'd like. As so, I'd be willing to try Beeline or other top competitors

SAP Fieldglass offers extensive capabilities for managing contingent workforce, statement of work (SOW) projects, and services procurement. It seamlessly integrates with other SAP products (e.g. SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba) and external systems, providing a unified ecosystem for enterprises using SAP’s suite of solutions. It is highly scalable, suitable for large enterprises with complex workforce management needs.

Incentivized

• Great for resolving tech related issues.
• Great for cross-training.

• I would have to say Fieldglass has made a positive impact, only in that having access to it has opened up some client relationships we didn't have before. I am a vendor to clients using Fieldglass, so I can't really report on the financial successes they may have had by implementing it.
• The negative side to Fieldglass, or any VMS, really, from an agency perspective is that it cuts out manager contact. That has a negative impact, both to the agency and the hiring manager. No longer can the managers really explain what they need, and no longer can an agency understand the req deeply. We have to work off of a scrubbed job description which is generally pretty vanilla.
