In the semiconductor industry, speed and precision are non-negotiable. Applied Materials partnered with Ivalua to replace rigid, heavily customized legacy systems with a flexible, highly configurable platform. By centralizing 10,000 users across their purchasing community and supply base, they have established an end-to-end solution for direct materials—from PO and BOM collaboration to predictive risk management and sub-tier visibility. This strategic shift positions Applied Materials to operate with greater agility, control, and confidence in an increasingly complex global supply chain.
