Provide better service through automation, data-driven insights, and transparency
Serving citizens and stakeholders, managing budget constraints, and juggling competing priorities can be easier when you have better visibility into vendor performance, compliance, and budget expenditure across your organization. Making better-informed spending decisions can be easier, too, with the operations and supplier experience data you can obtain once you digitally integrate your procurement processes end to end.
Use SAP Procurement solutions and Ariba Network to digitalize the procurement lifecycle. You'll find it possible to:
- Streamline sealed-bid processes
- Optimize your external workforce
- Strengthen relationships with vendors and third-party service providers
- Facilitate compliant purchasing through guided buying
- Accelerate requisition cycle times
- Track and report organization-wide spending
Working with SAP, you can make it easier for all purchasing to be done with accountability, sustainability, equal opportunity, and purpose in mind, further positioning your organization as high-performing, trusted, and citizen-focused.
