With ongoing economic, inflation, and supply chain volatility, the need for procurement
versatility and flexibility is greater than ever before. Helping your business adapt means
moving beyond traditional applications to a more strategic, scalable approach that lets you
transform every part of the procure-to-pay process: including buying and invoicing.
The SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing solution together with SAP Business Network connects
every step of the purchasing lifecycle for indirect goods and services – including catalogs,
requisitions, contracts, orders, goods receipts, and invoices – enabling you to:
• Streamline workflows, expedite approvals, and eradicate errors and exceptions.
• Connect with millions of suppliers across hundreds of categories worldwide, reducing
discovery time and allowing you to transact and collaborate with all trading partners in
one place.
• Deliver a smart, more automated buying experience that directs users to compliant
purchases with the least amount of human intervention possible.
• Access preferred vendors and items in custom business-to-business (B2B)
marketplaces, so you can expand choices while controlling tail spend.
• Eliminate silos by integrating with other applications and ERP systems, so you can drive
consistent business processes and share centralized data.
As a result, you can manage more spend with less effort – helping you bring speed, scale,
and savings to procurement and fresh innovation to the business.
