Case Study: Ananda Development streamlines procurement and vendor collaboration with SAP Ariba

Ananda Development Constructing strong vendor collaboration with cloud-based supplier management

Ananda Development, a leading Thai real estate company, needed a faster, more transparent procurement system to meet rising housing demand, strict timelines, and compliance requirements. Its paper- and spreadsheet-based purchasing processes made it difficult to maintain visibility, standardization, and operational excellence, so it turned to SAP Ariba solutions, including strategic sourcing and supplier management tools.

SAP implemented SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite, guided buying, SAP Ariba Buying, and SAP Ariba Catalog to automate procurement and improve supplier collaboration. The results included 100% on-time invoice payment for more than 2,000 vendors, a 15-day reduction in PR-to-PO cycle time, about 10% cost savings, and PO processing cut to about 1 hour from 2–3 days, while also improving transparency, auditability, and enabling more than 50 e-catalogs.
