Digitalisation & Innovation of Supply Chain

In keeping with our Vision 2020, we are making efforts to bring about a digital transformation and push for innovations in our supply chain process. This will lead to simplification of the procurement process, transparency, better management of expectations on both sides and thus, strengthen our relationships with our business partners.

While working towards a digitally enhanced supply chain, we are also creating more eco-friendly processes that are conducive for sustainable performance. Over and above these benefits, digitalisation has helped improve the mechanisation of our operations, which in turn has enhanced productivity.

Implementation of ARIBA for Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Integration

The SAP ARIBA, a network based collaboration platform, has made it easy and convenient to connect and share information with our partners and vendor networks in real time. It has added significant value across the entire supply chain lifecycle by enabling efficient on-boarding and easy integration, improving transparency and compliance, and allowing scope for broader collaboration. It also provides crucial intelligence that helps detect warnings early on and implement remedial measures to mitigate probable risks.

During the reporting period we rolled out the ARIBA project for P2P integration in two phases. SAP Ariba: Sourcing & SIM (Supplier Information Management) Phase 1 module was launched on March 8, 2018.
