SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration

Hitachi Energy uses SAP Ariba as a global, cloud-based platform to digitalize and streamline our entire source-to-pay process. It connects us with suppliers through the SAP Business Network, enabling efficient sourcing, guided buying, contract management, and invoicing—all in one integrated system. This approach improves transparency, ensures compliance, and fosters stronger collaboration across our supply chain.

SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) is a digital platform within the SAP Business Network that enables real-time collaboration between Hitachi Energy and its suppliers for direct materials procurement. Through SCC, suppliers can manage purchase orders, confirm deliveries, send advance shipping notifications, and track goods receipt status—all in one place. This improves visibility, reduces manual effort, and ensures data accuracy across the supply chain.
