Ariba Supplier Lifecycle Performance (SLP), the new way for suppliers to onboard

National Grid has implemented Ariba SLP solution, which provides tools to onboard, qualify, segment and manage suppliers. ​​

With advanced tools to automate manual processes and support close collaboration with suppliers, Ariba SLP will help streamline our source-to-pay processes across our organisation.​

You may have attended the webinar sessions that we ran in October 2024 to introduce the new process. As promised, here is the supporting information to help you get ready to onboard.
