Nobian improved its purchasing processes by adopting the leading cloud procurement solution SAP Ariba. The Nobian procurement teams are continuously working on the implementation of Ariba best practices.

All non-product related spend purchase orders are processed via the Ariba Network.

       "Online visibility of all document types in your Ariba Network account (POs, service
        entry sheets, order confirmation, advanced shipping notice, invoices) eliminating the
        need to contact Nobian for status updates. This real-time view will significantly reduce
        your administrative overhead of doing business with Nobian."

        Patrick Kohlmann
        Procurement Director Nobian

The ADAPT Training Site allows suppliers to learn how to configure and use their Ariba Network account. It includes plenty of details and screenshots to support suppliers even in more complex operations. The information is organized in easily digestible chunks and allows for easy navigation. This site will be common to all suppliers on Ariba Network, and even accessible from Ariba.com and from the Help Center.

       "Nobian’s goal is to move to 100% touchless and paperless transactions. By having our
        suppliers submitting service sheets electronically and sent electronic invoices that will
        flow directly into our systems for processing, we ensure better quality and control of our
        Purchase to Pay process."
