Case Study: Megapolis achieves greater control and cost-efficiency with SAP Ariba Sourcing

How Is Better Data Supporting the Wholesale Transformation of a Top Distributor’s Indirect Spend

Megapolis, a leading Russian distributor of tobacco and fast-moving consumer goods, faced challenges managing its indirect spend due to a lack of a centralized procurement team and inefficient, manual spreadsheet-based processes. Seeking greater control and visibility, the company turned to vendor SAP and implemented the SAP Ariba Sourcing solution to transform its procurement cycle.

By using the SAP Ariba Sourcing solution, Megapolis established a single, unified source of truth for its indirect-spend cycle, enabling smarter decision-making and a more effective supplier selection process. The results were highly successful; SAP helped the company achieve a 14% average reduction in e-auctioning costs, establish 330 new supply agreements, and significantly boost cost-efficiency and procurement compliance while eliminating time-consuming manual work.
