Case Study: Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group LLC achieves up to 55% reduction in procurement costs and full supplier visibility with SAP Ariba

How Does a Leading Dubai Retail and Real Estate Conglomerate Maintain Visibility Over Suppliers

Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group (ESAG) is a leading Dubai retail and real estate conglomerate, operating since 1960 with about 3,000 employees and more than 370 international brands across five industries. ESAG needed greater transparency across its large supplier base, faster supplier discovery and onboarding, and assurance that partners maintained current trading licenses to support accurate purchasing and compliance.

By deploying SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing solutions and the Ariba Network, ESAG gained one‑click visibility into supplier details, organized supplier listings by category, discovered and evaluated regional partners, and streamlined negotiations and logistics across seven joint ventures. The initiative cut 40–55% of procurement‑related business costs, boosted efficiency and profitability, and helped sustain the group’s roughly 15% annual growth.
