Customer challenges

In 2015, VINCI Energies France selected the Ivalua platform to support its 600 companies and 10,000 users in the digitalization of the ordering process. A few years after the initial implementation, the users raised several concerns which led VINCI Energies France to launch an audit on the platform and its usage. The CYRIAS teams were involved in this audit and helped to identify and prioritize improvement actions: redesign of the ordering process and short term enhancements.

Integration with SAP
