JAGGAER’s eProcurement Solution Integrates SAP Fiori App for User-Friendly Interface

VIENNA, Austria and MASON, Ohio, Sept. 14, 2017 -- JAGGAER, producers of the world's most comprehensive Source to Pay (S2P) solutions suite, today announced its recent eProcurement solution software compatibility expansion with SAP Fiori apps for a more user-friendly interface. Developed in cooperation with Villeroy & Boch, a leading global premium ceramics manufacturer, the compatibility expansion now enables customers to integrate their purchase requisition and approval processes into their SAP Fiori landscape for faster and easier completion. Customers will benefit from the advantages of the Fiori user interface, allowing them to approve shopping carts more efficiently.

“The JAGGAER SAP Fiori app has been seamlessly integrated into our existing infrastructure.  It has helped us make our approval processes leaner and provides our employees with a modern, intuitive interface. We value user-friendliness, which is why it was important to us that the current connection to the SAP portal and via single sign-on (SSO) would continue to function,” says Jörg Reiter, Manager of Processes, Tools & Methods at Villeroy & Boch AG.

The release and approval process for purchase requisitions is one of the core processes in eProcurement and because the transaction is so frequent, it is typically associated with savings opportunities. Delays during this process can also delay important orders or result in follow-up costs. JAGGAER’s integrated SAP Fiori app enables its customers to see at a glance how many approval processes are still open. They can immediately approve or reject outstanding releases for which they are responsible, or they can forward them to other users. All of the necessary information (accounting, delivery, detailed description, attachments, etc.) are transferred from eProcurement and seamlessly integrated.

Benefits: User-friendly, Intuitive, Accepted
In many companies, the SAP Fiori apps provide a central location for approvals. The contemporary design and intuitive interface on all browsers and devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) makes it easier to operate for SAP users. Users can access outstanding approvals at any time and from anywhere, making it easy for them to effectively use spare minutes on the go to quickly process the large volume of PREQs that don’t require any special attention. This reduces lead times and processing times drastically and prevents follow-up costs that may result from delayed decisions. The new SAP Fiori approval app for JAGGAER shopping carts is based on the standard SAP Fiori app for approvals and purchase requisitions.
