Business Wire
Managing global direct and indirect spend often isn’t easy. But
with the help of Ariba, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA), the world’s business
commerce network, Oriflame, an international Beauty Company selling
direct, is putting a fresh face on the process. On Wednesday, May
30, Loic Fresne, Purchasing Director for the company, will take to
the stage at Ariba LIVE Barcelona to discuss how he and his team
are successfully leveraging cloud-based applications from Ariba to
better manage its sourcing process and trading relationships.
“With operations in more than 60 countries worldwide, many
suppliers of various commodities supporting six category products
and approximately 3.5 million independent sales consultants to be
served, efficiency across our processes and a good management of
our supply chain is key to our ability to achieve optimal
profitability,” Fresne said.
To drive efficiency, Oriflame Purchasing has implemented Ariba®
Sourcing™ and Ariba Supplier Information Management™ to maximize
savings, record and monitor purchasing activities and gain
efficiency across all purchasing categories. The solution has been
integrated with Oriflame’s ERP system, which the company uses to
manage its direct spend using standardized RFP templates to support
its fast pace and number of new product developments which demand
that suppliers be awarded on time and in full.
“Oriflame relies on a complex and interconnected web of
relationships to run its global business,” said Henrik Smedberg,
Ariba Nordics. “Through Ariba, Oriflame has access to cloud-based
applications, capabilities and a trading community through which it
can effectively manage these relationships and optimize its
performance.”
