“ [ Ivalua ] … it ’ s a comprehensive suite where we are able to manage all of our needs from supplier selection process and contract management to sourcing and analytics ”
– Reiner Orth CPO , Swissport
45 he can focus staff more on the strategic aspects of procurement instead of such onerous operational tasks . “ We ’ re seeing a huge step forwards here for Swissport with the transparency and traceability of all actions from the purchase requisition to the payment process in one system . It ’ s a timely boost for our company as we prepare to go public with our IPO .”
Spanning a diverse career , Orth has experienced different tools and systems in other companies , whether in pharma or energy with the likes of Siemens and ABB . “ SAP systems are always quite complex and can see users struggle to achieve best performance , whereas Ivalua is easy to manage ,” he confirms . “ All procurement departments at Swissport who have experienced the different features are quite excited about its potential . We ’ re actually getting requests from the smaller countries that we implement this tool ahead of schedule .”
