Carphone Warehouse will deploy new systems to standardise and streamline procurement processes at one of its divisions.
The mobile retailer will roll out two on-demand systems provided by Ariba to improve its goods-not-for-resale (GNFR) sourcing and contract management processes to reduce cost and improve efficiency.
The new platforms will be implemented across the UK operations and potentially throughout Europe. One of the applications will cover sourcing while the other is intended for contract management.
"[The system] will provide standard, best-practice processes for sourcing and contract management that enable us to identify opportunities for savings on a wide range of GNFR and ensure that the savings we negotiate actually make their way to the bottom line on an ongoing basis," said Michael Whitby, procurement director at Carphone Warehouse.
