Smarter, Risk-Aware Sourcing Decisions
Procurement teams can now leverage real-time performance data, risk scores, and policy compliance insights when evaluating suppliers for sourcing events. Joule enables smarter sourcing by recommending suppliers based on fit, flagging high-risk profiles, and even helping initiate workflows, such as initiating the onboarding process for a new supplier or due diligence workflow for an existing one and provides fast access to active assessments for stakeholder collaboration and risk review. These capabilities ensure every sourcing decision is grounded in real-time intelligence—not assumptions.
Built-In Compliance and Policy Enforcement
Automate compliance checks and policy enforcement to meet evolving regulatory and internal standards. With Joule, users can proactively check supplier compliance surfacing the status of mandatory fields, missing documentation, or overdue validations. This reduces the risk of audit failures, regulatory penalties, or reputational damage.
Improved Supplier Performance
Track supplier KPIs, SLAs, and performance metrics over time. Joule can deliver quick insights displaying historical trendlines and flagging underperformance on request using natural language processing. Procurement can use these insights to course-correct relationships, enforce accountability, or prioritize top-performing vendors during strategic sourcing.
Faster Time to Value Through Automation and Intelligence
SAP Ariba’s workflows reduce manual tasks, while Joule further accelerates time to value by enabling users to instantly query supplier data and sourcing status; launch sourcing or risk workflows without logging into multiple systems, summarize engagement or audit outcomes for reporting or stakeholder briefings
Together, they enable sourcing cycles to be executed with greater speed, transparency, and strategic intent.
