The cloud-based offering allows users to digitally manage the source-to-contract process and procure direct materials with the same ease and speed as indirect goods and services, the vendor said. The app integrates seamlessly with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and execution systems, according to SAP Ariba. Users can integrate their sourcing and product design teams; model product costings at the bill of material (BOM) level; track item costs across time, suppliers and BOMs; achieve contract compliance and prevent leakage; integrate master data across systems, and manage suppliers at the item or plant level for improved supplier qualification and performance.
