The Challenge
Meet rising demand with digital, cloud-based sourcing and procurement
Integrity Health & Safety sources products from around the globe and then ships them from supplier distribution centers directly to customers.
For a small business with just five employees, maintaining efficient operations is a must. With that in mind, the company looked to streamline supplier billing and client invoicing processes. It also needed a way to expand its supplier network to ensure it was getting the best products at the best prices. Finally, it needed a way to track and monitor procurement activities in real time to support accurate planning and forecasting.
The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a significant increase in demand for workforce health and safety products, requiring Integrity Health & Safety to quickly level up on its digital capabilities. In addition to increasing its online presence, it started expanding go-to-market channels, resulting in a 30% to 40% increase in sales.
The time had come for a fully digital, comprehensive sourcing and procurement solution.
Procurement functionality and flexibility is more important than ever. With SAP Business Network, we expect to continue on our projected growth trajectory, engage with more customers, and deliver our offerings on time and above expectations.

The Solution
Digitalizing every aspect of sourcing and procurement
Integrity Health & Safety chose SAP Business Network to digitalize and automate its source-to-pay process.
A key deciding factor was that so many of the company’s clients and suppliers were already using these solutions.
Cloud technology was also a critical draw, because of the straightforward configuration and integration with core ERP applications. Scalability was important to help Integrity Health & Safety meet the rising demand, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, for workforce health and safety products.
The Result
