Case Study: SRF Limited achieves significant cost savings and revenue growth with SAP Ariba (Ariba Sourcing)

SRF Limited the Ariba Sourcing Solution Delivers Bottom Line Impact for a Leading Indian Conglomerate

SRF Limited, a Gurgaon‑based multibusiness conglomerate with about $800M in revenue that makes technical textiles, chemicals and packaging films, faced rising dollar prices and inflation that squeezed margins. The company needed greater procurement agility, significant cost reductions, better vendor and product development, and full transparency across the sourcing lifecycle.

Working with consulting partner Consus, SRF deployed Ariba Sourcing Professional to automate sourcing, mandate capital‑expenditure routing through the platform, and identify new vendors. The initiative cut ocean freight costs by 8%, delivered 6% savings on capex within seven months, and generated a 12% revenue lift in a category through forward auctions.
