Provide a dynamic, guided experience

Improve adoption and compliance with a simple, guided-buying solution that employees will use. Serve up customized suppliers, commodities, and processes for each user. They can find in one place everything they need – including unsourced goods – and save time with an automated approval process. You can even employ machine learning to avoid purchasing items from a bill of materials that aren’t on contract: SAP Ariba automatically finds sourced materials that are similar and suggests the best alternatives to buyers.

Learn about guided buying

Achieve full transparency into spending

Capture data and classify it according to your company and industry standards, then enrich it with market intelligence for insights into company-wide spending. Uncover buying trends with integrated solutions, linked data sources, and augmented analytics. Run what-if scenarios to improve planning and create leaner, flexible, and compliance-boosting processes. Increase both the quality and speed of decisions across your organization by giving buyers – and suppliers – near-real-time visibility into the purchase process from end to end.
