UAE-based Al Dahra will implement SAP Ariba to digitize and centralize procurement to drive greater efficiency, cost savings and compliance to fuel its growth. Al Dahra is a multinational agribusiness specializing in farming and trading serving more than 45 markets around the world.
Al Dahra aims to transform its procurement operation by connecting to the Ariba Network and the cloud-based applications for sourcing and procurement delivered on it. With this move, the company hopes to achieve a number of goals including reduce expenses by 15% within one year; centralise and standardise procurement across global operations; optimise cost structure to benefit from economies of scale; and drive greater efficiency with faster end-to-end transaction cycles. The company also aims to improve strategic sourcing for core products and to ensure transparency and compliance across the business.
“Our business is all about the availability, accessibility and affordability of animal feed and food products in key global markets,” said Khadim Al Darei, Vice Chairman and Co-Founder, Al Dahra. “Having expanded our global footprint significantly through acquisition, we know we need to standardize on one system for procurement to continue to drive maximum value for our customers. SAP Ariba’s vast business network and cloud-based solutions for managing our spend from end-to-end proved to be the best-in-class solution we were looking for.”
“Technology and digital business networks have fundamentally changed what’s possible for global businesses like Al Dahra,” said Mohammed Al Khotani, head of SAP Ariba, Middle East and North Africa. “This kind of digital transformation enables businesses to form and foster stronger relationships with their business partners in order to optimize value for customers.”
