Xoomworks – SAP SRM in the Shared Service Organisation
The challenge: Every business is searching for ways to improve performance in an increasingly competitive world and procurement is often seen as the route to success.

To achieve these goals Xoomworks strives to integrate procurement systems and processes via streamlined operations, enhanced cost management and improved supplier communications. SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) provides an end-to-end source-to-pay process, designed to save time and money, manage suppliers effectively and gain a full overview of procurement operations.
