We will improve our supplier relationship by having a fully digitised, modern end-to-end buying experience. This allows us to optimise our value – together. Therefore, we would like to invite you to start or even evolve our relationship using the SAP Ariba Network. In the future the exchange of orders and order confirmations will take place on the Ariba Network only. Collaborating with us outside the Ariba Network will be eliminated in due course. The Ariba Network is market leader in cloud-based procurement solutions. It enables the entire procurement and accounting process from start to finish through sourcing, purchasing, invoice automation and payment reconciliation all in one tool.
