Al Dahra partners with SAP to power procurement digital transformation

A multinational leader in the cultivation, production and trading of animal food and end-to-end supply chain management for the agribusiness sector has embarked on a digital transformation to leverage cloud technology to improve efficiency, drive cost savings and ensure compliance.

Al Dahra, which works in the agribusiness sector in over 20 countries and more than 45 market sectors, announced in a statement this week that it has entered into a partnership with SAP to standardise its procurement offering and drive maximum value for its customers.

The company will connect to the Ariba Network and utilise cloud-based applications for sourcing and procurement, transforming its procurement operation to achieve key goals.

These key goals include the reduction of expenses by at least 15% in the first year, centralise and standardise procurement across its global operations, improve strategic sourcing for core products and ensure transparency and compliance across the business.
