Elevate Services Procurement Practices with Fieldglass [Stockholm]

SAP Ariba

Today, as much as 30-50% of an organization’s workforce is considered external. Manufacturing companies use contingent labor and services to quickly meet demand, technology companies to find workers for positions with unique skill sets, and oil and gas companies to combat labor shortages. Behind the scenes, they need total visibility in order to optimize all areas of services procurement including complex spend, workforce quality, regulatory compliance and labor program efficiencies. Fieldglass' Vendor Management System (VMS) can help companies achieve this and more, all while easily integrating with other internal systems to enable a holistic view of both talent and spend.
