Swisslog Improves Procurement via Ariba

Ariba has announced that Swisslog Healthcare Solutions will leverage the former’s on-demand offerings to drive a strategic spend management initiative aimed at lowering costs, increasing efficiencies and improving competitive advantage.

“At Swisslog, we’ve built our business and reputation on the concept of efficiency,” said David Marantes, chief procurement officer. “By implementing Ariba’s solutions, we can more efficiently manage our spend, deliver savings that positively impact our bottom line and enhance our position in the competitive global market.”

The latter will use a range of the former’s on-demand spend management solutions to achieve these goals.

Through Spend Visibility, Swisslog can gain access to meaningful intelligence on its spend, supplier performance and procurement processes across all categories, systems and divisions and identify opportunities for savings. With Sourcing On Demand, the company has the technology, expertise and services needed to create effective markets for a wide range of direct materials and indirect goods and services and convert these savings into dollar results.

With Supplier Information Management, Swisslog can discover, assess, and on board new supply partners, ensure that their information is accurate and up-to-date and continually measure and improve their performance.
