SAP SRM: Piaggio Group’s choice (pdf)

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. implemented the SAP ERP platform for the management of the main business processes, including the passive cycle processes for the provisioning of indirect and direct production material. Indeed, in 2007 Piaggio & C. S.p.A. felt the need to optimize some processes relating to the above mentioned sectors, as well as to establish new collaboration scenarios with its business Partners. The solution identified by the Piaggio Group together with Syskoplan Reply is the SAP SRM - Supplier Relationship Management - platform.

”With the SAP SRM Platform we have improved the management and efficiency of the supply chain; indeed, nowadays the whole authorization cycle up to the issuing of Orders is performed on the Portal and during the first 4 months of 2009 about 37% of Invoices were received through the SRM platform. During this year, it is estimated that around 50% of Invoices will be transferred through the Portal, to which about 250 suppliers will be connected”.
