With AI-powered SAP Ariba Direct Materials Sourcing
It is time for a new SAPSA Procurement digital session! Direct materials account for 60-80% of cost of goods sold in manufacturing. Yet most organisations still operate with disconnected systems across engineering, procurement, and supply chain — resulting in longer sourcing cycles, lower contract compliance, and missed savings.
In this session, we demonstrate how SAP Ariba Direct Materials Sourcing closes that gap with a purpose-built, fully integrated design-to-source-to-supply platform. Co-innovated with Volkswagen Group and used by industry leaders, the solution is natively built on SAP S/4HANA and connects PLM, sourcing, contracting, and supply chain execution in a single digital thread.
We cover value drivers specific to automotive, industrial manufacturing, and consumer products — followed by a short demo of NPDI project planning, collaborative RFx, and contract creation. Whether you are running a center-led procurement model across multiple plants or managing complex BOMs with long development cycles, this session shows how SAP enables procurement to lead earlier and deliver measurable bottom-line impact.
We close with short roadmap review and interactive Q&A.
