10 reasons why you need the Ariba Network NOW.

Unfortunately the B2B world is filled with inefficiencies. Although companies are taking an initiative to improve internal communication (between departments
and employees), where it matters most (between buyers and suppliers) many are falling behind.  The amount of transactions done manually offline wasting paper, time, and people is incredible. In this blog post I will highlight 10 key benefits that Ariba, an SAP company, has for increasing buyer and supplier relationships in the chemical industry.

1. Cost Improvements

2. Source to discover new suppliers

3. Visibility into spending and supplier relationships

4. Improved Supplier communication with Customer

5. In-the-Cloud offers minimal system maintenance costs

6. Visibility into order status and end payment timing for supplier

7. New platform for suppliers to market themselves

8. Many chemical industry suppliers already active on the Ariba Network

9. Rapid deployment (<4weeks)

10. Reduce supply chain risks
