Overall Satisfaction with Ariba Procurement
Ariba software is used by the recruitment department in my organization for recruiting new personnel for various positions as the need arises. Ariba is used in identifying suppliers who are market leaders in quality, service, and cost to ensure market transparency. My company uses the software to receives bids on our clients' products. This bids have a deadline. We are to then gather all necessary documentations and take note of the commercial costing site where we run our pricing once completed the bids will be returned back via the same platform. We also communicate with client while using this tool.
- Cost Reduction: Definitely this goes well as you are able to get different suppliers with different pricing and you can now select what pricing best suits your present needs.
- Supplier management: Different suppliers can be easily manage from one tool.
- Suppliers enjoy visibility of the recruitment bidding process. One can also save the time to respond to online emails by using the platform to communicate with clients.
- The system we use is not user friendly, you need a detailed tutorial to understand the processes better.
- Once the network is not so great, it can take a while trying to upload a document to the cloud.
- User interface
- It's helped in reducing supply chain operational costs.
- Positive: It's cut down on unintended cash flows having a better and formalized payment terms.
- Positive: It controls unnecessary spending and improve transparency. Now suppliers who cannot meet up with demands are easily disqualified from the process. Also helping to stick with just your preferred specs.
