SAP Supply Chain & Procurement Transformation
Embrace digital SAP solutions & collaborate with your supply base electronically, sharing data that improves performance
Our specialist team of experienced SAP Supply Chain & Procurement consultants focus on:
- As-is process analysis to identify digital opportunities
- UX-orientated future-state process design
- Multi-application expertise, e.g., SAP S/4HANA Cloud and On-Prem, SAP ECC, SAP Ariba, SAP Business Network
- Project management, change & training
- Providing localised, best-practice experience within a wide range of industries
Supply chain & procurement transformation is a commitment to a digital future. At estrat we understand all aspects of electronic collaboration between internal customers, buying processes, and external vendors.
Experience deploying, optimising, and supporting SAP Ariba & SAP Business Network solutions nationally
Most SAP Ariba / SAP Business Network deployments utilise only a small amount of the available capability within the various solutions. We can assist with:
- Strategic guidance and solution architecture
- Functional & technical design, development, and deployment
- Training delivery
- Buyer support services for all modules & integration methods
- New release readiness, system optimisation & expansion
- Supplier transactional support & enablement services
Our knowledge of hybrid Source-to-Pay systems, such as SAP ERP & SAP Ariba, allows us to identify root-cause, guide internal and 3rd party resources, and resolve issues where others cannot.
