Inter-company collaboration package for purchasing operationsSMART Package for Supplier Collaboration

"SMART Package for Supplier Collaboration" is a package that combines SAP Business Network, a supplier collaboration solution for purchasing operations, with B-EN-G's smart implementation methodology to quickly create a collaboration environment between buyer companies and supplier companies.

Overview

SAP Business Network is a common SaaS platform that connects SAP S/4HANA on the buyer side with supplier companies. Through SAP Business Network, we digitize the purchasing process with supplier companies.

"SMART Package for Supplier Collaboration" is a package that combines SAP Business Network with implementation support based on an implementation methodology established based on B-EN-G's extensive implementation experience and know-how of SAP ERP and SAP Ariba. In addition to system implementation support for buyer companies, it also includes deployment support for supplier companies.

• Necessary tasks and roles in system implementation are defined, making system implementation smooth.
• The system is stable because standard business scenarios and verified parameters for implementing them are defined in advance.
• Leveraging the know-how cultivated through the implementation of SAP Ariba, experienced consultants will support buyer companies in transforming their business processes and supplier companies in expanding their business.

Benefits

Automate, visualize and standardize the purchasing process

• The traditional manual paper, fax and e-mail processes are automated, improving productivity and reducing operational costs.
• Purchase order, receipt, and invoice are automatically collated to prevent human error.
• The platform allows quick and comprehensive access to information related to expenditure management, enabling flexible response in times of crisis.
• Prevent dependency on individual employees by standardizing and visualizing business processes through system implementation

Rapid construction of a supplier collaboration environment

• Because it is SaaS, supplier companies can do business with multiple buyers simply by registering on a common platform.
• Start small to reduce implementation risks and gradually expand supplier companies
• Unlike individually developed EDI, SAP always provides the latest environment (new features released, automatic security updates)

Scope of SMART Package

Conduct electronic transactions for purchasing processes via the SAP S/4HANA Purchasing module and SAP Business Network.
It connects purchase orders from buyer companies to supplier companies, and delivery date responses, shipping notices, and invoices from the supplier company to the buyer company in response to those purchase orders.
