Largest Trading Partner Community
Only Ariba delivers so convenient and comprehensive a service for matching your sourcing and spot-buying needs with a maximum number of qualified suppliers. And it's free! Ariba Discovery is your portal into the Ariba Network, the world's largest online trading community. The system is designed with fast and easy use in mind, but if you need a little guidance you can also access readily available support and information. All in all, with Ariba Discovery you can:
- Quickly find high-quality sellers.
In just five minutes, you can create a posting. We then automatically match it with high-quality sellers, drawing from a base of companies located in 130 countries and representing more than 19,500 commodity codes. Those interested deliver their bids securely, along with any additional information you've requested, through Ariba Discovery. You simply compare the responses and click to create your shortlist or award the business. While Ariba Discovery's expediency can improve all of your sourcing initiatives, just imagine what a life-saver this agility will be the next time you're faced with another, unanticipated rush project. - Collaborate with sellers in real-time.
Ariba Discovery is built with the user experience in mind. Starting from the moment you log-in, during your posting experience, and including your seller interactions, Ariba Discovery blends the best parts of the online consumer shopping experience with the integrity of B2B commerce. Several tools make it easy for both buyers and sellers to manage information and communications within the system, including dashboards, automated messaging, e-mail, and web meetings. - Find seller matches for any sourcing need.
Sometimes, it can be hard to source and manage certain types of spending. Searching online and making cold calls can be time-consuming and frustrating. But with the depth and breadth of our online trading community, you can find sellers to help you with any sourcing need, including one-off spending, non-strategic spend, indirect spend, low-cost spend, and services spend. Best of all, their competitive bids are delivered directly to your desktop. - Access accurate, up-to-date seller information.
Some markets experience high seller turnover, especially the services market or those negatively impacted by turbulent economies. When this happens, your approved vendor lists and traditional sources of seller information can quickly become outdated. Instead of relying on old time-consuming ways of doing things, explore Ariba Discovery. With so many buyers and sellers coming online to do business every day, sellers are motivated to routinely update their business profiles. This gives you quick access to searchable, up-to-date information.
What's more, to make your strategic sourcing program even easier, Ariba Discovery is integrated with the Ariba Sourcing solution. Built-in punch-out functionality from one system to the other makes it easy for you locate and do business with a maximum number of approved sellers, while driving competition for your business.
