External workforce management challenges:
Difficult to get a complete picture of both consultants and staffing in real-time.
Direct visibility and control of each requester's own workforce and the total workforce and its competencies.
Manual and separate workflows for procurement, onboarding, and offboarding. Time-consuming and costly processes with long lead times to get consultants in place. Difficult for managers to know what to do next and if anyone is acting on what needs to be done.
Standardized and system-supported processes for procurement, onboarding, management, and offboarding. Clear steps and what needs to be done and by whom
Challenging to ensure compliance with local regulations, internal guidelines, and global policies. Difficult to see time and date and who did what in the processes and if they had the right authorization.
Automatic notifications and regulatory checks ensuring all assignments follow applicable requirements. Full ability to see who did what with timestamp and name for follow-up on deviations.
Unexpected cost increases when budgets aren't transparent or forecasted. Poor or no insight into pricing per role or across the company. Limited visibility into volumes per supplier and whether they have market-competitive prices.
Forecasts, planning tools, and cost overviews that minimize unexpected expenses. Full insight into revenue in real-time without time-consuming reports.
Delays and bottlenecks when information is spread across different systems and documents. Manual processes that aren't well documented or differ from department to department making it difficult for the requesters to overview.
Scalable modules that adapt to your company's volume and processes – regardless of assignment, project or country.
Implema Business Solution was a key player in streamlining a global telecom client’s procurement processes and management of external workforce, in collaboration with SAP Fieldglass.
With operations in over 170 countries, the client had an extensive need for external consultants but lacked uniform and smooth processes to manage them. After a thorough analysis, they chose to implement SAP Fieldglass as their Vendor Management System (VMS) to create better structure and control.
The solution makes it possible to recruit, administer, pay, and evaluate external resources and suppliers. Today, the platform is used for up to 20,000 consultants and covers 90% of the total cost.
The client needed to gain control and insight over external resources in Asia where specific expertise was required to achieve the goal. They wanted to introduce a common tool that supports the globally decided procurement processes to achieve the following four main goals:
In a sub-project, a common system with a global process was implemented in a total of 10 countries for 4000 consultants with a turnover of 800 MSEK in Asia. This replaced local processes and systems.
