Source to Contract (S2C)
In a globalized economy, effective procurement management plays a key role in the success of a company and became a competitive advantage. Processes around source-to-contract (S2C) are an important aspect of procurement management, supporting the identification and onboarding of potential suppliers through the conclusion of contracts. Modern software solutions such as SAP Ariba "Source to Contract Suite", SAP S/4HANA and non-SAP solutions help companies to optimize and design their S2C processes.
Cost Savings and Increased Efficiency
One of the key benefits of source-to-contract is the ability to identify and achieve cost savings and efficiency gains. SAP Ariba, a cloud-based procurement solution from SAP, helps companies automate their S2C processes, from supplier sourcing to contracts. SAP Ariba's integration with SAP S/4HANA enables seamless collaboration between all procurement processes and finance, saving companies time and resources while reducing human errors and delays.
Improved Supplier Relations
Source-to-contract enables the development of strong, long-term relationships with suppliers. SAP Ariba supplier management facilitates collaboration between companies and suppliers through a central platform for communication and performance evaluation, including synchronization across all necessary purchasing applications. This integration of SAP Ariba solutions and SAP S/4HANA enables better visibility and analysis of supplier data, allowing companies to take focused action to improve collaboration.
Risk Management
An effective source-to-contract process helps mitigate risk in supplier relationships and supply chains. SAP Ariba Supplier Risk provides capabilities that enable companies to identify potential risks and take timely mitigating actions. Real-time data analytics enable continuous monitoring of supplier performance, helping companies avoid supply bottlenecks, quality issues, and legal problems, and ensure business continuity.
Compliance and Sustainability
Compliance with legal requirements, especially enforced by the Corporate Due Diligence Act to prevent human rights violations in supply chains, and the consideration of sustainability aspects are becoming increasingly important for any company. SAP Ariba helps companies select suppliers that meet these requirements and support the company's long-term goals. SAP S/4HANA or other innovative solutions such as Product Footprint Management provide capabilities for analyzing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria to help improve reputation and achieve sustainability goals.
