Case Study: Ananda Development achieves 15-day PR-to-PO reduction and streamlined procurement with SAP Ariba

Constructing strong vendor collaboration with cloud-based supplier management

Ananda Development Public Company Limited is a leading Bangkok real estate developer facing rising housing demand and tighter timelines. With manual, paper- and spreadsheet-based procurement processes that hindered visibility, compliance, and operational standards, the company needed a cloud-based strategic sourcing and supplier lifecycle management solution to standardize buying and speed up purchasing.

Ananda implemented SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite with guided buying, SAP Ariba Buying and Catalog, plus DocuSign for signatures, creating mobile-friendly workflows and standardized supplier onboarding. The project cut PR-to-PO cycle time by about 15 days, reduced PO processing from 2–3 days to one hour, generated ~13,000 POs annually, delivered ~10% cost savings, achieved 100% on-time invoice payments for 2,000+ vendors, and increased transparency, auditability, and use of 50+ e‑catalogs.
