"Introducing a collaborative tool like Ivalua Buyer enables us to pursue the transformation initiatives implemented by the Group and to reinforce our values, such as "One team, One Thales", as well as helping make us more competitive", explains Renaud Larramendy, Purchasing Process & Tools Director at Thales.
The Ivalua Buyer e-purchasing software will notably help the Group Purchasing Division strengthen the Purchasing management process through the introduction of indicators. Ivalua Buyer's collaborative nature also caught the Thales Group's eye, as it will allow the firm to manage the dynamics between the various different parties involved in the purchasing process all around the world.
"We were looking for a tool that would allow us to develop a collaborative approach within the purchasing community, thereby ensuring we provide our customers with the best possible level of service", he continues.
Of the many functions Ivalua Buyer can offer, the Thales Group has chosen to adopt the following modules: e-Sourcing, Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Supplier Performance Evaluation and Purchasing Dashboards.
"We are delighted that Thales has chosen Ivalua Buyer, thereby placing its trust in our firm. By providing a solution for this major global Group, we are demonstrating yet again that our e-Purchasing software, Ivalua Buyer, is able to adapt to the Purchasing strategies of leading multinationals." concludes Gérard Dahan, General Manager EMEA for Ivalua.
