Aravo Assure™: Buyer Perspective
Enterprise 2.0 has Arrived – Finally!
Most supplier networks fall well short of expectations when it comes to helping buyers find, qualify, manage, and collaborate with reliable trading partners. In fact, let's just tell it like it is: most supplier networks have failed. Too many "networks" are populated with outdated, stale information, with limited supplier participation, no analytics or decision support, and no systems to facilitate communication and collaboration. Aravo Assure™ is here to change all that.
A New Kind of Trading Partner Network
We built our network to be different – and we think you will agree that Aravo Assure™ is unlike anything you've ever seen.
How did we do it? We started by listening. When we asked our Fortune 500 customers what they wanted in a supplier network, three key messages came through loud and clear:
Key Features of Aravo Assure™ include:
1. Discovery: Streamline supplier discovery with enhanced search and communications tools in a true many-to-many networked environment.
2. Cost Savings: Offer automatic, touchless updating of data across all global systems via a LinkedIn/Facebook-style "connections" permissioning model.
3. Collaboration: Deliver tools that streamline supplier outreach, training, communications, compliance and information sharing.
And with these three principles guiding our development efforts, we built a new kind of network – one that drives real business value for buyers: Aravo Assure™.
Buyer Case Study
"Over the last three years, GE has successfully utilized Aravo's SIM solution to transform our supplier lifecycle management landscape. We are excited to enter into this new phase of our relationship and expect great things of the Aravo Assure™ network, particularly as it supports our efforts to develop and strengthen relationships with our small business and diversity suppliers. We are committed to driving an increasing amount of our spend to these suppliers, and Aravo Assure™ is a key component in our strategy."
