Contractor work order software for SAP
Bring contractors into your SAP workflow.
FastExternals lets you distribute SAP work orders to contractors and get structured reporting back. Contractors report from a mobile app, and you review every submission before it touches SAP.
From $45 per user per month. See pricing.
Contractor work outside of SAP.
You send work orders to contractors by email. They send updates back by email or phone. Reporting data seldom makes it into SAP. You have no visibility into progress until you chase for an update. And when you do give contractors SAP access, it creates license costs, IT overhead, and risk to your master data.
Manage contractor work orders from one place.
Go beyond basic contractor management.
