Challenge
NAOS deployed a Procurement Information System to structure its processes and comply with Sapin 2 and LME laws. Before this implementation, supplier document management relied on office tools, consuming considerable time. The goal was to optimize indirect supplier management through Oxalys, connected to SAP from 2017. Previously, email exchanges and server storage heavily occupied teams without providing real added value.
Solution
In 2019, following a tender process, NAOS deployed the Aprovall solution along with the BvD (Moody’s) data provider. Connected to the Oxalys SRM, they enable centralized information management. Aprovall was implemented within weeks, with the activation of the documentary and regulatory collection module. The ethical charter, orchestrated by Aprovall, optimizes management and saves teams precious time.
« “We went from 19 buyers busy managing supplier requests to just one person thanks to Aprovall, our buyers are now free from administrative work” » Lucas Chiron, Digital Tools Buyer
Result
NAOS was won over by Aprovall’s user-friendly interface, which promotes rapid adoption, as well as its ambitious roadmap incorporating projects such as CSR. Its business model, with no fees for suppliers, also caught their attention. By fully automating documentary and regulatory collection, Aprovall frees up valuable time for buyers, allowing them to focus on higher value-added tasks and optimize supplier management.
