Group challenges


Background


Founded in 2011 by Deutsche Telekom and Orange, BuyIn delivers strategic procurement services. BuyIn ranks amongst the top five global telco customers and have the reputation to deliver enormous value to their alliance partners. BuyIn is specially recognized for its cutting-edge expertise in leveraging innovation and sustainable sourcing strategies.

The project aimed to deliver a comprehensive solution to monitor ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and risk indicators, enhancing supplier performance evaluation. It is made of custom ESG calculations based on data collected for all suppliers, complemented by a tailor-made dashboard designed to report compliance and financial risk for Orange and Deutsche Telekom.

 

Delivered solution


BuyIn, a long-standing client of Ivalua, chose to implement seamless integration with the systems of its founding partners, Orange and Deutsche Telekom, taking advantage of their Ivalua platform, named “Scube”.

Thanks to its flexibility, “Scube” was tailored to meet BuyIn’s specific procurement needs. In addition to its Source-to-Contract (S2C) capabilities, “Scube” now includes enhanced operational features for supplier risk and ESG management, integrated within BuyIn procurement processes.

Integration


“Scube” operates as an orchestrator for the Source-to-Contract processes of Orange and Deutsche Telekom, centralizing procurement needs from the Ivalua solutions of both companies.

Several interfaces have been implemented, including color-coded indicators to analyze the overall CSR score, compliance, and financial risks from suppliers. Sustainability scores are loaded via external files and custom ETLs, leveraging REST API interfaces.
