Indirect spend control, contract management, supplier risk, and cost-centre P2P — configured to support financial services governance frameworks. Regulatory compliance remains the client's responsibility.
Financial services firms have significant indirect spend — IT, professional services, facilities, marketing, and third-party data services — that is often fragmented across cost centres with inconsistent approval and vendor controls. Ariba Buying with guided purchasing channels spend through contracted suppliers and enforces approval workflows that match your internal controls framework.
SAP Ariba Implementation →Financial services regulators expect documented evidence of supplier risk management — FCA, PRA, and internal governance frameworks require third-party oversight that manual processes cannot consistently deliver. Ariba Contracts and SLP provide the contract compliance tracking and supplier risk monitoring required to meet regulatory third-party risk management obligations. Navaastra configures these modules to your specific governance framework, not a generic template.
SAP Ariba Implementation →In financial services, procurement is often decentralised — cost-centre owners initiating purchases independently, creating compliance risk and spend visibility gaps. Ariba Buying with cost-centre approval workflows and SAP FI integration gives finance teams visibility of committed and actual spend by cost centre, without restricting operational agility.
P2P Automation →Contract workspace, compliance tracking, renewal monitoring, and contract-to-PO automation — reducing maverick spend and contract leakage.
