“We are delighted to have been selected for the digitisation of one of the world’s leading automotive players’ procurement processes. Given the magnitude, complexity, and sustainability focus of their global supply chain, Volkswagen fully recognises the strategic role of procurement in providing the company with a true competitive edge in an uncertain global market environment”, said David Khuat-Duy, founder and CEO of Ivalua.
“The customer centricity of our teams and the need for a flexible and robust platform that enables process optimisation, transparency, and agility have weighed in our favour to provide Volkswagen with a compelling solution”, he concluded.
