Redefining the Buying Experience to Enable Simpler, Smarter Purchases

Turn persona-based shopping into margin-boosting
savings
People expect experiences that are simple and straightforward while at the same time enjoyable and
engaging. That is why now more than ever, great experiences – inside and outside of the workplace –
are driving loyalty, differentiation, and growth.
Cumbersome software can create a negative user
experience. If a system or software solution is too
complicated, it may not get used – no matter how much
training is offered.
A positive user experience is about more than software
simply looking good. Core elements of its design must
meet user needs, enable them to be more efficient, and
empower them to perform at a higher level.
The guided buying capability for SAP Ariba
procurement solutions does just that by giving
employees a simpler way to buy smarter. It delivers a
smart, predictive shopping experience – backed by AI-
powered, persona-driven search and
recommendations – that guides employees to
preferred buying channels, processes, and policies.
As a result, employees have one place to search for
goods and services, collaborate with suppliers, and
quickly make compliant purchases with little to no
involvement from procurement departments.
