The SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance (SLP) is used by STIHL to involve, qualify, segment and manage suppliers. Advantages of the SLP solution:
-
Deployment in the cloud
-
Integration with SAP Ariba solutions
-
Self-service portal for data maintained by the supplier
-
Adaptable supplier qualification and segmentation workflows
Suppliers who already have a business relationship with STIHL will be gradually invited for onboarding during the respective rollouts. This will be done by means of a “Project Notification Letter” or on receipt of the first Ariba order.
