Digitalisation of supplier management

Navantia is undergoing a transformation process aimed at sustainability, which covers all areas of the company, where technological innovation and digitalisation are one of the essential vectors of change. As part of this process, it is promoting a governance model that involves its partner companies.

Digitalisation streamlines processes, while ensuring that negotiations with partner companies comply with the principles of publicity, competition, transparency, confidentiality, equality and non-discrimination, and enables traceability throughout the supply chain.

In this context, Navantia is immersed in the SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT DIGITALISATION PROJECT through the SAP ARIBA PLATFORM.

The following functionalities have been implemented:

- SLP: Registration and administrative evaluation of partner companies.
- Sourcing: Requests for quotation and awards.
- Network: Electronic transmission of technical information, orders, delivery notes and invoices.
- Supply Chain Collaboration: Electronic communications with partner companies during the execution of contracts (modifications, claims and incidents).

Navantia and Ariba will work with partner companies so that they can use the ARIBA platform to receive requests for quotations, submit their bids and send all communications, orders, delivery notes and invoices electronically.
