The Future of Buying: Next-Gen Procurement

Personalization, Predictive Recommendations, and Sustainability Awareness


In the past, procurement was straightforward: follow the five “rights” of procurement — right quality, right quantity, right place, right time, and right price. But today’s business buyers need to think beyond these basics. They want an elevated buying experience — one that’s personalized, predictive, and sustainable.

Guided Buying Evolves: Introducing Next-Gen Procurement

  • Guided Buying: SAP Ariba solutions have long been the gold standard for purchasing goods and services. The guided buying capability ensures efficient and compliant purchases.

  • Buying 360: The latest evolution takes guided buying to new heights. It introduces services that enhance predictability, personalization, and sustainability.

Key Features of Next-Gen Procurement:

  1. Predictive Recommendations: Buyers receive intelligent suggestions based on their roles and organizational policies. This streamlines procurement and makes it more strategic.

  3. Flexibility: Built using SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) services, Next-Gen Procurement adapts to varying needs.
