Case Study: Geographe Enterprises achieves 30% increase in orders delivered in full and on time with SAP Ariba

Geographe Enterprises 30% Increase in Orders Delivered in Full and on Time with the Ariba Network

Geographe Enterprises is a Perth-based specialist manufacturer and supplier of industrial machinery and wear components to Australia’s mining and energy sectors, operating for over 45 years with a catalog of more than 15,000 items. Facing the need to systematize order management, improve order-processing efficiency, and raise on-time delivery rates across multiple sites, Geographe sought a way to better connect with major resource companies and reduce manual errors and contract leakage.

By using the SAP Ariba Network and related e-commerce tools, Geographe standardized processes, implemented electronic catalogs and contract matching, and eliminated time-consuming data entry across sites. The result: 65% of transactions processed through Ariba, 45% catalog growth since 2010, and a 30% improvement in orders delivered in full and on time—reaching 90%—along with stronger customer relationships and lower costs.
