Partnering with INPEX

Collaborating on the Ariba Network

Collaboration on all sourcing, contracting and procurement activity will be conducted via the Ariba Network, an online trading place for buyers and sellers. This includes requests for information, proposals, quotes, participation in contract negotiations.

All core Purchase-to-Pay activity (ordering, fulfillment, and invoicing) will be conducted via the Ariba Network, providing a seamless, efficient interaction.

SAP Ariba will:

  • Simplify, automate, and digitize the Source-to-Pay process
  • Allow INPEX and our suppliers to collaborate and transact electronically, making the process simpler, more accurate, transparent, and efficient.
  • Facilitate process integrity as it provides visibility through the entire process.
  • Provide security as all submissions are protected by visibility restrictions in the system, allowing only approved personnel to view responses at the appropriate time in the tendering process.
