Case Study: Sage Health Solutions achieves multimillion‑rand growth and market expansion with SAP Ariba

Sage Health Solutions Growing from a Microbusiness to a Multimillion-Rand Enterprise with SAP Ariba Solutions

Sage Health Solutions is a women- and minority-owned healthcare supplier founded by two sisters in Cape Town as a home-based startup. Their main challenge was quickly learning to transact with the South African government and other large buyers that use SAP Ariba procurement, while expanding beyond their initial market and customer base.

By adopting SAP Ariba (the Ariba Network and Ariba Discovery), Sage rapidly onboarded to government procurement, streamlined responses to tenders, and accessed hundreds of new opportunities daily. The company grew to a multimillion‑rand business within five years—about 80% of annual sales now come through the Ariba Network—opening doors to public and private hospitals and broader markets with projected 5–10x category growth.
