Case Study: SATORP achieves faster, more efficient procurement with SAP Ariba

SATORP Digitalizing procurement for a sustainable supply chain

SATORP, one of the world’s most advanced oil-refinery and petrochemical complexes, was handling large-scale competitive bidding through an email-based procurement process. To improve control, confidentiality, accuracy, and efficiency, SATORP turned to SAP Ariba solutions from SAP to digitize and centralize its procurement communications and supplier records.

With SAP Ariba, SAP helped SATORP automate and standardize procurement workflows, streamline bid analysis, and improve documentation and audit readiness across more than 1,600 suppliers. The results included a 43% reduction in material sourcing time, 30% faster services sourcing, 60% faster supplier onboarding, and a 1.5x improvement in the procurement cycle, while employees were able to manage 1.5 times the workload with the same staffing level.
