OGDCL has partnered with TMC (TallyMarks Consulting) as the implementation partner for the introduction of the SAP Ariba Sourcing Module with S/4HANA MM integration. The goal of this partnership is to streamline the procurement tender process and increase efficiency by automating the procurement lifecycle, stated a press release.
By using this new system, OGDCL can plan supplier interactions more effectively and execute supply chain administration in a more collaborative manner, the press release added.
“Additionally, intelligent data processing reduces the need for email and spreadsheet management, resulting in shorter cycle times and increased productivity.”
