Case Study: National Business Furniture achieves expanded reach and streamlined e-procurement with SAP Ariba

E-Procurement Solution Expands Reach and Sales Presence

National Business Furniture, a leading provider of office furniture to corporations, small offices, and government agencies, needed an integrated e-procurement solution to help customers standardize cost and style across branch offices and to support both large corporate projects and smaller transactional purchases while tying into existing procurement systems.

By making its full product selection available on the Ariba Network and using Ariba Discovery, NBF enabled customers to view inventories, place multi-location orders, access past and pending orders, and receive customized product selections and pricing. Purchase orders now flow directly into NBF’s system (eliminating manual entry), speeding ordering, reducing costs, and expanding NBF’s reach and sales presence.
