SAP Ariba Sourcing Suite Likes & Dislikes
- End to end procurement on a single platform: This helped us streamline the processes and reduce manual intervention. - Better Visibility and Control: Real-time visibility and reporting enable stronger governance and decision making. - Standardized templates: Predefined templates for supplier registration, sourcing and auctions reduce the need for customization.
Nothing. It is a horrific service and it beggars belief that such large organisations use it when it slows everything down dramatically.
Ability to develop any strategy we require
- Limited Flexibility: We faced challenges in preparing the comparison sheet in Ariba because, as the standard functionality was not sufficient for our requirements and required significant customization. - Supplier onboarding challenges: smaller or less tech savvy suppliers face difficulties in registration which impacts adoption. - User Experience: Interface can be less intuitive for occasional users and suppliers, resulting in higher training efforts.
It seems designed to be as painful and horrendous as possible, to make supplying as horrid as can be. A customer messages to say that they are looking to procure, and you spend the next hour trying to access their RFI and getting frustrated that nothing is working.
Has taken time to teach the users, but well worth the effort.

Enhancing Strategic Sourcing with SAP Ariba Suite
By using SAP Ariba Sourcing Suite, our company has enhanced the level of strategic sourcing as well as common procedures for negotiations.
