Procurement and Supply Chain Management
in the Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is not an easy one to thrive in. Companies face significant challenges from intense competition and the pressure to innovate, to macro-economic forces, and changing regulations. Each of these forces impacts outcomes, while these companies must also find a way to produce product at an extreme scale with constant year over year pressure on prices.

These challenges directly impact procurement and the supply chain. Together with suppliers, procurement must ensure product quality and supply chain continuity while keeping an eye on costs, risks and performance. Ivalua’s Source-to-Pay platform enables procurement to better leverage supplier data in the form of insights & spend analytics to manage supplier risk and improve supplier performance and make more informed decisions that drive innovation, margins and secure supply chain resilience.
