Have you ever used SAP Ariba?
Numerous large American tech companies are using that for supplier, including Intel, Google or ARM. They used to have their own system, and they moved to that abomination.
Everything is counter-productive, the UX is insane, but to give you an idea: you have a list of PO or invoices, but you cannot click on them to see them, you have a three-dot menu that allows you to get an email to "act on the PO"... They broke the simple idea of an hypertext link... I'm not even talking about changing a bank account...
- popotamonga 4y agoThe nightmares. I was a supplier for cocacola and it was so bad they had to do the invoicing for me because it was magic.
- BenFeldman1930 4y agoMaybe "SAP Dirty Sanchez" would be a better name?
- sizzle 4y agoYes good luck trying to order from a vendor catalog using the SAP front end, enter the correct shipping info and get any UI confirmation or cues the order was input correctly and will be sent to you. Maybe our implementation is just broke, but there are so many unintuitive backwards UX patterns I shudder to use it every time.
- BostonEnginerd 4y agoI'm currently dealing with multiple customers moving to Ariba. What a pain -- it doesn't work in Safari reliably, finding out where anything is takes several minutes.
