SAP Ariba at ENGEL

With the introduction of the e-procurement platform SAP ARIBA, we are continuing our journey into the digital world and hence further fulfil ENGEL’S digital corporate strategy. SAP Ariba is the central network for our suppliers to provide and exchange data and to deepen the cooperation between purchaser and supplier.
