City's Supply Chain Management

The City's Supply Chain Management is in the process of digitising invoice submissions and purchase order communication to minimise manual interventions.

“I indicated to you the process of digitising our Supply Chain Management...invoices are sent manually to the relevant individuals...the service provider then automatically receives communication as a result of them being a vendor and being fully migrated on SAP Ariba, which includes all their purchase orders.”

There were delays in the past with purchase orders being sent manually, which the new system aims to resolve by automatic communication to service providers.

“In the past, Chair, we will find that within that process, there are further delays...the system automatically sends out POs to all service providers.”
