E-SOURCING PLATFORM
2013
saw the consolidation of the e-sourcing platform in
all Business Units, where the Company is a pioneer in the
hotel sector in successfully developing and implementing an
electronic e-sourcing tool.
This platform is a clear commitment to innovation and
continuous improvement of the buying processes. It contributes
to an increase in the standardisation of process, strengthens
monitoring on bids and unifies evaluation criteria worldwide.
It also improves both internal and external communication
channels, guaranteeing full transparency of negotiation
processes and equal opportunity for all participating suppliers.
Electronic negotiation fosters the participation of more
suppliers in the processes, as well as increasing the diversity
of these. During the first year the platform was implemented,
a total of
2,475
suppliers from 22 countries
registered, of
which 617 were invited to participate in negotiation processes.
During the second half of the year, 75.86% of all negotiations
were made through the platform and 13 e- auctions were held.
SAPMATERIALMANAGEMENT
The implementation of SAP MM (Material
Management), a comprehensive P2P (Procure
to Pay) process management system, through an
approved and improved hotel template, allows
for increased efficiency and effectiveness in
operations.
In 2013, there was a significant increase in the
number of electronic invoices, both in Spain and
Italy; from 48,843 invoices in 2012 to 68,073
invoices in 2013, which constitutes an increase of
39.4%.
In January 2014, implementation of SAP MM
was finalised in hotels in Spain and in Corporate
Offices. The objective is to finish the year 2014
having implemented the tools in all Business Units
except Italy and the Americas, whose objective is
the first semester of 2015.
