Supplier Management

SAP Ariba Supplier Management offers functions to enable businesses to evaluate the performance of their existing suppliers and also engage with new suppliers depending on new procurement needs. SAP Ariba analyzes articles, news stories, reports and third-party content on the Internet, allowing companies to segment suppliers with up-to-date information. Thanks to SAP Ariba Supplier Risk, which is part of the solution range, risk views and alerts can be configured for each supplier relationship and role prior to procurement.

Strategic Sourcing

With the SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing solution portfolio, you can manage your entire sourcing, contracting, and spend analysis processes for all types of spend – direct and indirect materials as well as services – all in one place. Contract processes, which usually progress quite slowly after supplier selection and require commercial cooperation, can be managed with Ariba Contracts, a part of the solution portfolio. The solution offers a platform where companies can easily manage multiple templates, access a rich pool of contracts and compliance can be monitored with easy workflows.

Procurement

With SAP Ariba Procurement, you can manage all operational procurement processes from request to invoicing, access more options through catalog enablement and gain more control over costs and potential risks. As your buying processes run with maximum efficiency, your invoicing and payment transactions are seamlessly integrated into the ERP systems.

Financial Supply Chain

With SAP Ariba Financial Supply Chain, you can automate the manual, paper-based processes in the procurement cycle. Intelligent invoicing functions alert the suppliers about mistakes. The solution enables cash and liquidity management by assessing your current payment terms and cash position according to industry.

Spend Analysis

Spend Analysis offers insightful analyses of not only procurement transactions on SAP Ariba but also the procurement processes on SAP ERP as well as non-SAP ERP systems with its own Big Data analytics tools and grouping algorithms. This allows the spend analysis to provide insights into the next procurement activity.

Buying

SAP Ariba Buying solution allows buying to be managed with or without catalog. With catalogued buying management, requests can be opened through the catalogs of suppliers in the Ariba Network and catalogs of approved suppliers can be created on the system. This allows users to access the item to be purchased via the SAP Ariba platform without the need for any additional information.

Contracts

SAP Ariba Contracts solution allows systematic tracking and management of all contracts related to specific procurement. The contracts can be monitored not only in terms of prices and quantities but also their legal aspects. When contracts are managed on the SAP Ariba platform, you can monitor the expiration dates of specific contracts with the ready reports available in the system and design alerting mechanisms.
