Case Study: Piramal Glass Limited achieves 15–20% sourcing savings and improved transparency with SAP Ariba (Ariba Sourcing)

Piramal Glass Limited Delivering Savings and Improving Transparency with the Ariba Sourcing Solution

Piramal Glass Limited, a global manufacturer of glass packaging for perfumery, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage and decorative products, faced fragmented sourcing across a wide supplier base and manual, time-consuming procurement processes. The company needed an integrated, automated sourcing platform to standardize activities, improve transparency and capture better economies of scale.

Piramal implemented Ariba Sourcing in six weeks to manage MRO, capital expenditures, moulds and indirect spend, running more than 200 sourcing events annually across 800+ suppliers and training 95% of its supplier base. The initiative delivered 15–20% annual sourcing savings for two consecutive years, increased sourcing coverage (MRO to 80% and scrap disposal to 100%), and improved process transparency and supplier collaboration.
