The Ariba Network supplier home page has been redesigned to be a Supplier Portal, with simplified navigation, an overview of your transactions, and insights and promotional widgets. The Supplier Portal also includes the Workbench, which is a highly customizable page that allows you to get a quick overview of transaction documents that need your attention. The Inbox and Outbox have been replaced with object-oriented menus, which logically group objects by their business process.
Suppliers need:
- Efficiency and responsiveness: suppliers need to react to their customer's needs to provide the best customer service for customer retention
- to know how to maximize their usage of the Ariba Network, features that apply to them
-to know what value added services they can take advantage of; such as leads and financing opportunities and insights
- Consistent , modern user experience and tools aligning with SAP ’s strategy
Simplified access and navigation driving suppliers to actionable information, decreasing the effort required to support customers.
Customizable pages that allow users to gain quick access to items requiring their attention.
