What is SAP Ariba?
SAP Ariba is a cloud-based application for controlling as well as managing purchasing and procurement processes. SAP Ariba supports the digitalization of procurement departments, both in terms of operational and strategic processes. Ariba offers customers a wide range of different customizing-options that they can map in this system.
Starting with a classic catalog platform, which end users can use to enter their requirements and trigger orders from suppliers, right through to the invoice processing process. The entire process is digital and is mapped via the SAP Businessnetwork for Procuremenet.
Ariba also offers comprehensive supplier management, which can be used to register, qualify and evaluate suppliers. Risk management is also provided.
SAP Ariba also provides an attractive solution for sourcing. Tenders and auctions are carried out here. The results from these events can then be converted into contracts in the contract management area. There is also the possibility to map contracts completely digitally, including the integration of an eSignature solution, and to negotiate the contract completely online with the supplier with the help of SAP Businessnetwork.
Finally, Ariba also offers a module for supply chain collaboration to provide customers with a simple solution for managing their supply chains.
By opting for SAP Ariba, you save considerable costs in the long term. The solution reduces manual effort to a minimum and replaces it with automated processes. This significantly streamlines and standardizes processes. This reduces project lead times and creates employee capacity for value-added projects and processes.
