Conglomerate
Full-suite SAP Ariba delivery for a diversified conglomerate
Upstream sourcing through downstream P2P on SAP Ariba, integrated with the SAP core and rolled out across multiple business units.
The problem
A diversified group ran sourcing in email, contracts in shared drives and purchasing in the ERP with no connecting layer. Each business unit had its own process, savings claims were disputed between procurement and finance, and supplier onboarding took months.
The solution
Nexolve delivered the full source-to-pay chain on SAP Ariba: Sourcing and Contracts upstream, Buying & Invoicing downstream, Supplier Lifecycle across both — integrated with the group's SAP estate. The same team designed the process, configured the platform and ran supplier enablement in waves.
The process
Baselined spend across business units and agreed one savings methodology with finance
Designed the group process template with unit-level localisation
Configured upstream and downstream modules and built the ERP integration
Ran supplier onboarding in segmented waves with weekly adoption reporting
Results
- One governed source-to-pay process across the group's business units
- Contracts moved from shared drives to a searchable, auditable repository
- Supplier onboarding run as a managed workstream with wave planning and adoption metrics
