Strengthen contract compliance.
Users will find a way around any system they don't like, so lay the groundwork for compliance by choosing a solution they'll use. Make sure it facilitates buyer-supplier collaboration, too. It's key to creating agreements that will be kept. With access to the Ariba Network, Ariba P2P is an integrated, casual-user friendly system that enhances collaboration and flexibility in supplier negotiation. It gives you more control over management of complex terms, and easy-to-maintain online catalogs drive user compliance with rate cards, pricing targets, preferred suppliers, and payment policies.
Achieve greater agility in supplier relationships.
Access to the Ariba Network can help you identify and work with a greater number of suitable suppliers. This drives competition for your business and enables rapid, informed decisions that can mitigate supply risk. Ariba P2P further assists with multi-language and multi-country process management tools. Deftly engaging in the world's largest trading partner community, you can focus more on what you can do with suppliers, instead of to them. You'll benefit from stronger relationships, advantageous pricing concessions, and innovative solutions to your supply problems.
If your situation calls for it, Ariba also offers a Procure-to-Order solution. This can do the heavy lifting of order processing and then hand it off to your ERP for receiving and invoice reconciliation. You can also choose to include the receiving process in your P2O solution. Either way, your solution is delivered through the Ariba Commerce Cloud, a web-based utility that contains everything you need to produce more savings and value through procurement than ever before. And this can secure you an even greater role in the strategic direction of your business. Learn more about the Ariba Commerce Cloud.
