Today's IT budgets are tighter than ever, meaning that ROI needs to be measured in weeks-not months or years. Aravo Global Services helps customers see faster value from their investments in supply chain technologies. Based on ten years of industry best practices that were developed while supporting Aravo's Fortune 1000 customers and a community of over one million suppliers around the globe, we know how to meet the demands of the world's largest companies and most complex supplier networks.

Implementation - It's that SIMPL

Supplier Information Management implementations often include cross-functional project teams and thousands of suppliers, so to simplify the process; Aravo Global Services has developed SIMpl (Supplier Information Management Project Lifecycle). SIMpl follows a four-step process that starts with your current supplier business processes and quickly optimizes and enhances them. Aligning Aravo SIMpl with the Aravo SIM SaaS offering makes implementation an interactive, iterative progression that models your business processes and data in real time. While some methodologies take up to a year to implement, Aravo SIMpl can help you achieve ROI in weeks by ensuring immediate alignment to the way companies do business today and their current project goals. Aravo SIMpl:

• Consolidates supplier information from multiple, disparate sources and classifies it into meaningful categories that can be quickly tracked and managed;
• Supports supplier risk management to better predict potential supply disruptions and proactively mitigate risks;
• Drives “best practices” for managing supplier information, reducing risk, and achieving sustainability and diversity goals.
• Supports standard integration APIs to other applications including Oracle, SAP, Ariba, etc.
• Provides easy-to-read metrics to gauge status of suppliers, qualifications, catalogs, and contracts
• Delivers a platform to survey, qualify and implement new and existing suppliers
• Enables flexibility to define new initiatives, workflows and rules on the fly - without IT's involvement - as specific needs arise
