Source-to-Pay Platform Delivery — SAP Ariba, Coupa & Oracle
This is our deepest bench. The team has delivered 15+ Ariba programmes covering sourcing, contracts, supplier lifecycle, buying and invoicing, catalogues and commerce automation — integrated with S/4HANA, ECC and non-SAP estates. Most competitors stop after go-live of stage two; we stay through integration, supplier onboarding and adoption, because that is where source-to-pay programmes actually succeed or stall.
Problems we solve
Sound familiar?
A platform went live but suppliers still transact by email
Upstream modules were bought and never configured beyond a pilot
Catalogues are stale, so buyers punch out or free-text instead
Integration between Ariba and the ERP breaks on every release
Adoption metrics were never agreed, so nobody can say if it worked
Capabilities
What Nexolve delivers
Upstream: sourcing to supplier risk
Sourcing & Guided Sourcing, Contracts & Clause Libraries, Supplier Lifecycle & Performance, and Supplier Risk — configured to your category strategies.
Downstream: buying, invoicing and catalogues
Buying & Invoicing (P2P), Catalogues & Punchout, Commerce Automation via the Digital Supplier Network, and supplier onboarding at scale.
Integration
S/4HANA and ECC integration, non-SAP ERP and third parties, Ariba APIs and CI upgrades, DocuSign, OpenText and e-signature flows.
Adoption
QA for large-scale programmes, change management and training, reporting and adoption metrics, and continuous optimisation after go-live.
Coupa, Oracle & Fieldglass
Full delivery capability across Coupa and Oracle Procurement Cloud, plus SAP Fieldglass for contingent workforce and services procurement.

FAQ
Source-to-Pay Platform Delivery questions
Straight answers to the questions teams usually bring us.
Are you tied to SAP Ariba?
No. We are deepest in SAP Ariba but fluent in Coupa and Oracle — the recommendation follows your requirement, not a licence we resell.
Can you take over a programme mid-flight?
Yes. Recoveries usually start with a two-week programme review covering configuration, integration health and adoption data, then a remediation plan with fixed milestones.
How do you handle supplier onboarding at scale?
As a structured workstream: supplier segmentation, wave planning, templated communications, guided enablement and weekly adoption reporting — run by our team alongside yours.
Do you support the platform after go-live?
Yes — through the Optimise phase or a managed support arrangement covering release management, CI upgrades, configuration changes and reporting.
