Pony.ai: Uncovering new business
potential by digitalizing procurement
and sourcing processes in the cloud
A global leader in autonomous mobility, Pony.ai is a pioneer in extending autonomous
mobility technologies and services at sites around the world. The company is engaged in
developing safe autonomous driving capabilities on a global scale through its robotaxi,
robotruck, and personally owned vehicle business units.
To meet growing demand, Pony.ai needed to reduce procurement cycle times and
enhance supply chain management processes with closer collaboration across the value
chain. Setting ambitious goals to simplify procurement and sourcing operations for buyers
and suppliers, Pony.ai looked to centralize access to accurate data and digitalize sourcing
and supplier performance management in the cloud.
