WAYNE, Pa.—Supply chain operating network Elemica recently was listed as one of the 100 Great Supply Chain Partners by SupplyChainBrain, earning the honor for assisting Continental Tire's automated procure-to-pay business processes for the purchase of the direct materials in the rubber divisions.
“We are humbled to be nominated for this prestigious award and honored to be named a Great Supply Chain Partner,” Omar Nadi, director of product management for supplier management solutions at Elemica, said in a news release.
Continental submitted Elemica for inclusion in the list, citing its initiatives as key in helping to build the tire maker's bottom line, saving more than a $1 million a year, according to Nadi.
“Working with Continental Tire to build the business network that redefined their procure-to-pay process was driven in large part by the willingness of their purchasing department to challenge the old way of doing things,” Nadi said.
