Dear Supplier,

Digitalizing business relationships is an important step on the road towards Industry 4.0, and one that we want to achieve hand in hand with our suppliers.

For this reason, in future BINDER GmbH will exclusively be using the SAP Ariba network for inquiries and tenders, and for purchase orders, order confirmations, and invoices (features coming soon).
The network will be used to exchange all documents of this kind, providing a paperless format.

As a supplier, it is still free for you to register with the SAP Ariba network and participate in tenders.

BINDER is looking forward to continuing its work with you using this platform. Once it has been launched globally, the SAP Ariba network will be used for managing all of BINDER’s purchasing activities.

Thank you for your support – we are looking forward to forging a successful future together with you in this new digital endeavor.
