Streamlined supplier enablement for P2P as suppliers are already transacting on Ariba Network Quickly adds new suppliers to vendor master due to full integration with Ariba Sourcing

Supplier Discovery through the Ariba Network

Enables meeting CSR, regulatory, and other non-cost objectives simply and without sacrificing cost

Local Suppliers

Used Ariba to easily find and vet local, large beverage distributors already supplying other casinos

Received multiple responses despite very targeted search criteria, saved time by eliminating unqualified suppliers

Without Ariba, it would have been very challenging to find this supplier

Low-Cost Country

Discovered highly competitive supplier

Cut time it took to find low-cost country suppliers of banquet chairs by 50%

Received large number of high-quality bids for pens from all over the world

Already had extensive supplier database, but not always the right or the best suppliers

Diversity & Green

Discovered woman-owned, local CO2 supplier, also most competitive offer

Found minority-owned baked goods supplier, lowered lead turnaround time by 97%, closed multi-million dollar deal within 30 days, saved 10% in total cost

Now an essential piece of regional supplier diversity outreach program
