Pony.ai Uncovering new business potential by digitalizing procurement and sourcing processes in the cloud

Pony.ai, a global leader in autonomous mobility, needed to shorten procurement cycle times and improve supply chain management as demand grew. The company wanted to centralize accurate data and digitalize sourcing and supplier performance management in the cloud, and chose SAP Ariba solutions and SAP Business Network to help streamline procurement and collaboration with suppliers.

SAP implemented SAP Ariba Sourcing, SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, and SAP Business Network, integrated with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. As a result, Pony.ai cut procurement cycle times by an average of seven days, sped up supplier qualification verification by 3x, onboarded 1,500 suppliers, and achieved 100% audit compliance.
