Case Study: Almirall achieves rapid global procurement transformation in 12 weeks with SAP Ariba

How Does Digitalizing Procurement Processes Help Innovative Treatments Reach Patients Faster

Almirall S.A., a Barcelona‑based life sciences company that develops and delivers medications to more than 70 countries, needed to modernize its global procurement quickly to keep pace with evolving healthcare demands and a complex international footprint.

Working with partner Seidor and using the SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing solution via the SAP Ariba Snap program, Almirall implemented a complete procure‑to‑pay suite—including e‑buying, e‑invoicing, and commerce automation—in just 12 weeks, boosting touchless transactions (up to 80% of key suppliers) and establishing a foundation for future SAP Ariba modules such as Spend Analysis, Supplier Lifecycle & Performance, Sourcing, and Contracts.
