Case Study: Richemont International SA achieves greater supply chain visibility and compliance with SAP Ariba

Richemont Harmonizing supply chain processes between group business and suppliers

Richemont International SA, the owner of 27 luxury brands and more than 2,300 stores, works with over 700 direct spend suppliers to source materials and manufacturing services. Manual, email-based procurement and an outdated supplier collaboration system were limiting supply chain visibility, slowing workflows, and making it harder to ensure compliance and ethically sourced sourcing.

Richemont International SA implemented SAP Ariba solutions, including SAP Business Network and SAP Business Network for Supply Chain, to digitize collaboration and improve procure-to-pay processes. With SAP Ariba, Richemont gained real-time supply chain visibility, better data quality, faster workflows, and stronger oversight of sustainable and ethical procurement across its supplier network.
