INNOVATION AND
TRANSPARENCY:
ELECTRONIC negotiation
In its second year of implementation, the NH Hotel
Group electronic business platform has clearly
shown that the Company has opted for innovation,
equal opportunities and transparency in the
contracting processes.
Consolidating the platform has been conducive to
standardising assessment criteria and procedures,
making all the processes 100% traceable and
ensuring that the decision-making processes are
transparent.
Two new models were implemented on the platform
at the end of 2014. In the first half of 2015 two new
modules will be implemented to enable the users to
electronically control the entire purchasing process:
supplier rating, e-sourcing and supplier performance
assessment.
Rating Module: It will enable to pre-assess suppliers
on the basis of a variety of parameters associated
with the extent to which they comply with good
governance standards, such as economic-financial,
environmental, operational and socio-occupational
parameters.
Assessment Module: It will enable to determine
the approved suppliers’ performance level and
to establish whatever corrective measures may
be necessary to achieve excellence in services to
internal customers.
SAP MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
The SAP MM (Material Management) module was
implemented in 2014. It is used to manage the entire
purchasing process, from drawing up the order to
paying the invoice (P2P).
It was implemented in the Business Units of Spain
and Portugal, Benelux and Central Europe and during
2015 it will carry on being implemented in the rest
of the Business Units, with a view to completing the
standardisation project in a period of 18 months.
