Ivalua has been selected by Michelin Group, the leading tyre company, to provide a global sourcing solution, which will automate and streamline sourcing processes across Michelin’s buyer teams in Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
Michelin already uses the Ivalua solution for a global management of its 5,000 contracts and 5mn invoices a year across 55 countries.

Hélène Paul, CPO of Michelin Group commented, “With buyers all over the globe issuing 1,500 requests annually for suppliers to provide goods and services, we needed a tool that could help make this process more efficient, ensure best practices are leveraged across teams and improve collaboration between internal stakeholders and suppliers.
“Ivalua provides us with a fully integrated, global strategic sourcing process that empowers us to do just that.”
