Collaborative Procurement
Alcoa employs approximately 59,000 people and operates in more than 200 locations in 31 countries. Alcoa Global Procurement transacts with over 75,000 suppliers worldwide, producing over 5M purchase order and/or invoice lines annually.

Solution Highlights
Closed loop processing for Orders, Logistics and Invoice documents Automated expediting for Order Response follow up Supplier on boarding campaigns executed simultaneously on two continents Single integrated connection to Alcoa’s backend Oracle system Orchestrated multiple business process scenarios, managing complexity for both Alcoa and suppliers transparently • •
Challenge
Prior to the Quadrem implementation, there were no standard methods of transmission for inbound and outbound documents with suppliers, and all electronic integrations were done in-house, which was high in cost and long in duration.
Additionally, the lack of tools to enable suppliers to comply with Alcoa’s business processes created difficulties and a dearth of automated B2B processes drove inefficiency resulting in increased costs, resources and rework.
• • •
Results Overview
Suppliers enabled on the Quadrem solution had a 99.99% first time match rate of PO to Invoices A 56% reduction in paper invoice volume in North America and a 50% reduction in Australia due to invoices being transmitted through B2B.
Internal buyers were freed to pursue cash generation activities that allowed the procurement organization to remove $2B USD in costs for 2009.
