The search for the best technological solutions is a very important area of work of the SE “MPU”. We develop our own IT capabilities and implement the most successful practices that already exist in the field of procurement.
We have recently started procurements through one of the most popular procurement platforms in the world - SAP Ariba. It currently has more than 6 million suppliers registered in 56 different product categories.
One of the successfully implemented cases is the procurement of 400 VAC devices and 10,000 sets of consumables to help the seriously injured. These are rare positions on the Ukrainian market, and thanks to the marketplace, it was possible to find a supplier in just a few days at the lowest possible cost.
The main advantages of SAP Ariba are:
-
Competitiveness: we choose suppliers with the highest quality and relevant goods;
-
Savings: the procurement of VAC devices costs 3 times cheaper than prices in Ukraine.
It is important for us to share our experience with other participants in the procurement process. Therefore, to provide as many suppliers as possible with the opportunity to participate in tenders, our team presented the main functionality of the platform, its capabilities and features of use. This functionality was implemented in cooperation with SAP, Deloitte, NGO Enkidu.
"SAP Ariba gives us access to a huge international market. It allows us to cooperate with manufacturers of the latest and high-quality medical products, spending a minimum of time on procurement," said Ihor Lysenko, head of the IT development unit of the SE “MPU”.
In particular, in the near future, we plan to use it for urgent procurements in the area of cardiovascular diseases, consumables for determining blood glucose, etc.
