I-Aruba ilawula, ibeka esweni kwaye ihlalutya umsebenzi wokuthenga
I-Ariba yasungulwa ngo-1996 nguKeith Krach, owadala imbono yokusebenzisa i-intanethi ukwenzela ukuba iinkampani zikwazi ukuphucula nokuphucula inkqubo yokuthenga. Inkqubo yokuthenga ngokuqhelekileyo yayisisigxina sabasebenzi kwaye kaninzi ixabisa kwiinkampani ezinkulu.
I-Krach yavelisa imbono yokuthenga abasebenzi ekuthengeni izinto kubathengisi ababonelela iikhathalogu zabo kwi-intanethi. U-Ariba wanikeza isofthiwe yokwakha nokusingatha iikhathalogu zabathengisi kunye nesofthiwe yokuvumela ukuthenga izinto.
Ngo-1999 le nkampani yayiyinkampani yokuqala yezoshishino ze-intanethi ukuya kwintlalo.
Ngeli xesha i-Ariba yajongelwa ngabadlali abaninzi kwinxalenye yokuthengwa kwe-e, njenge-Commerce One kunye neMetiom.
I-Ariba inikeza isisombululo solawulo lwexesha lokusebenzisa iimfuno zokuthenga kwenkampani. Abathengi banikezwa inani elikhulu leencwadi zeenkampani zokuthenga. Inani labathengisi ngeelabhulethi kwiNethiwekhi yeAriba Supplier manje ingaphezu kwama-160,000 kunye nezinto ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-80. Iikhowudi zokuthenga izigidi ezibini zithunyelwa kulaba bathengisi inyanga nganye kwintengo ye-$ 8 yezigidigidi.
Isofthiwe ye-Ariba ivumela inkampani ukuba ilandelelanise, ibeke iliso, iphinde ilawule umjikelezo wobomi opheleleyo wokuthenga kwi-quisisiti kwintlawulo. Abasebenzisi bangenza iikhwizishini ezivunyiweyo ngokwemigaqo yoshishino yangaphambi kokuqwalaselwa yenkampani nganye.
Iimori zokuthenga zingenziwa ngokuzenzekelayo kwaye zithunyelwe ngqo kwabathengisi, ngelixa u-oda ukuvuma kwaye uthumele izaziso zibuyiselwa kumceli-sicelo.
Inkqubo yokukhwabanisa ilula kubaboneleli abanokwenza i-invoyisi ngqo kwi-order order buy order. Ii-invoyisi zihambelana ngokutsha kunye nezinto zokufumana umyalelo wokuthengwa kunye naluphi na ulwazi olwamkelayo, ukuze umceli adibanise kwaye ahlawule ngaphandle kokulibala.
Kwizo nkampani ezisebenzisa isisombululo se-Enterprise Resource (ERP), i-Ariba inokuhlanganiswa ngokupheleleyo.
Nangona kunjalo, i-Ariba inikeza umkhiqizo wayo njengesisombululo sokufuna. I-"Software njengenkonzo" (i-SaaS) ifumaneka ukusuka e-Ariba ukususela ngo-1999 kwaye ihambisa isisombululo esipheleleyo sokubakhokhela, njenge-you-go-yezo nkampani ezifuna ukuphunyezwa ngokukhawuleza ngeendleko eziphantsi eziphantsi kunye neendleko eziphantsi bunini.
Ekugqibeleni, inkampani yakho idinga ukubonelela abathengi bayo ngezinto abo bathengi abafunayo kwaye benze oko xa umthengi oko-kwaye ufeze loo nto xa uchitha imali encinci kangangoko kunokwenzeka . Yaye yilapho i-Ariba inokukwazi ukuzuza inkampani. I-Ariba isebenzisa isofthiwe yolawulo igcina ixesha lenkampani, iimpahla kunye nezibonelelo ngokubonelela inkampani amandla okuzenzekelayo, ukulandelela nokulawula yonke inkqubo yokuthenga-ukusuka kwiikhwizishini ukuya kwintlawulo - ngokuzenzekelayo. Ukukwazi ukufumana le nkcazelo kwiinkcukacha zenkampani kubalulekile ekuhloleni iindleko, ukuhlaziywa kwamathambo kunye nokuhlaziywa kwamatriki.
Kukho ezinye i-ERP, ukuthengiswa kwezinto kunye neenkqubo zokulawula isofthiwe zenkqubo yokulawula ezikhoyo kwinkampani ukusebenzisa (kunye nokuchitha imali). Uninzi iinkampani azizinakho izixhobo ezingenamkhawulo zokuchitha kwisofthiwe, ngoko kubaluleke ukuba inkampani ihlaziye ingeniso yokubuyela kwisityalo-mali ngaphambi kokuya kwisofthiwe.
Ukukhethwa kwefowuni, ukuphunyezwa, ukuqaliswa kunye nokugcinwa akunakwenzeka nje ukuba kubize - kodwa kungathatha inyanga (okanye ngaphezulu) ngaphambi kokuba uqaphele ukuba utyalo-mali lwakho alukwazi ukuhlawula iintlawulo.
Yintoni oyilindeleyo kwisofthiwe ophanda yona? I-software ye-Ariba yokusebenzisa i-software yenzelwe ukukunceda ukulawula iikhwizishini zokuthenga, ii-oda zokuthenga, umthengisi kunye neenkontileka zamakhasimende, ukuhanjiswa kunye neentlawulo. Nangona iyakwazi ukudibanisa neenkqubo ze-ERP kunye ne-MRP, i-Ariba ngokwayo ayiyi kulawulo lwamanqanaba okubala okanye ama-routers okuvelisa okanye amasheya okukhusela. Qinisekisa ukuba uyayiqonda into eyi-Ariba kwaye ayikwazi ukwenza ngaphambi kokwenza utyalo-mali.
Ukufumana ulawulo lwenkcitho yakho phantsi kolawulo kuyinkalo ebalulekileyo yokuphucula ukhenketho lwenkonzo yakho, oko kuthetha ukuba unciphisa iindleko zakho, ukwandisa amanqanaba enkonzo kunye nokwenza ngcono ingeniso yakho.
Ukuba ulawulo lwenkcitho yilokho oluyidingayo ukuze ufumane ukhenketho lwenkonzo yakho, ke uAriba usenokuba isisombululo esifanelekileyo kuwe.
Le ngqungquthela malunga nezisombululo zokulawula iindleko zika-Ariba yahlaziywa nguGary Marion, uLogistics and Supply Chain ingcali.
