SAPBuy+: The Missing Link in Ariba Procurement

Why Procurement Still Feels Fragmented — Even with SAP Ariba

• Most enterprises already run SAP Ariba. Yet many still experience:

• Low supplier adoption on Ariba Network

• Manual touchpoints across sourcing and contracting

• Limited visibility into supplier risk

• Slow cycle times in procure-to-pay

• Compliance that depends on people instead of systems

• Collaboration that happens outside the platform

In short, the tools exist. The connection doesn’t.

Procurement today demands more than automation. It needs orchestration across suppliers, internal teams, data, and risk signals.

The Procurement Gap

What Is SAPBuy+? A Connected Procurement Framework

• SAPBuy+ is Rialtes’ comprehensive service suite built around SAP Ariba to deliver end-to-end procurement transformation along with system implementation.

It combines:

• Strategic advisory

• SAP Ariba implementation and migration

• Supplier enablement on Ariba Network

• Integration with ERP and third-party systems

• AI-driven engagement tools like AgentChat

• Continuous optimization and value tracking

Instead of running procurement on disconnected processes, SAPBuy+ helps enterprises build a single, connected procurement experience from sourcing to settlement.

Supplier Collaboration: Where Procurement Transformation Really Begins

• Technology can automate workflows.
• Only collaboration transforms outcomes.

• SAP Ariba already offers one of the world’s largest digital supplier ecosystems through the Ariba Network. Yet many organizations underuse it, limiting interaction to purchase orders and invoices.
• SAPBuy+ changes that dynamic.

What connected supplier collaboration looks like

• Digital onboarding instead of manual vendor setup

• Centralized communication instead of email chains

• Shared visibility into orders, deliveries, and payments

• Faster dispute resolution

• Standardized compliance documentation

• Real-time performance tracking

When suppliers become partners on the same platform, procurement moves from control to co-creation.

The Ariba Network Advantage

• The Ariba Network is more than a transaction hub. It’s a business network — but only when activated properly.
• Through SAPBuy+, Rialtes helps enterprises unlock the full value of the network by:

• Driving supplier onboarding programs

• Designing supplier experience journeys

• Automating PO, ASN, invoice, and payment flows

• Embedding compliance at every step

• Enabling supplier self-service portals

• Improving data accuracy and cycle times

The result is measurable:

• Faster sourcing cycles

• Lower invoice exception rates

• Higher on-contract spend

• Reduced operational friction

• Stronger supplier relationships

Procurement stops being reactive and becomes predictably efficient.

From Automation to Intelligence: AI in Connected Procurement

Modern procurement isn’t just about speed. It’s about insight. This is where AI tools like AgentChat elevate SAP Ariba from a system of record to a system of engagement.

With AgentChat layered into the procurement ecosystem, teams gain:

• Conversational access to procurement data

• Instant answers on order status, contracts, and suppliers

AI in Procurement Flow

Instead of chasing information, teams focus on decisions.

Why SAPBuy+ Works Where Traditional Ariba Projects Struggle

• Many Ariba programs stall because they focus only on deployment. SAPBuy+ focuses on adoption, integration, and value realization.
• Here’s what’s different:
