Capital project sourcing, services procurement automation, and vendor compliance management — built for the procurement complexity of energy and utilities operations.
Energy and utilities capital projects involve high-value, complex sourcing events — EPC contracts, equipment procurement, long-lead items. Managing these events in spreadsheets or disconnected systems creates audit risk and delays procurement decisions. Ariba Sourcing provides structured RFQ/RFP management with scoring, award recommendations, and contract creation — integrated with SAP project systems for budget tracking and commitment management.
Ariba Sourcing + ECC →Maintenance services, inspection contracts, and operational support procurement in energy and utilities involves high invoice volumes with complex service entry sheet matching. Manual processing of services invoices against time-and-materials POs creates AP bottlenecks. AI invoice processing handles services invoices at volume — extracting timesheet data, matching to service entry sheets, and posting to MIRO automatically.
AI Invoice Processing →Energy and utilities organisations face significant vendor compliance requirements — HSE certifications, insurance, licences, and industry-specific qualifications. Ariba SLP provides structured vendor qualification and ongoing compliance monitoring — tracking expiry dates, triggering renewal workflows, and restricting orders to compliant vendors only.
