Introduction
At Air France-KLM, the Digital Finance and Procurement department is a knowledge center for the financial processes. The DFP acts as an integrator between the user organization and the external and internal IT suppliers. The department is located in the Netherlands and France serving the Finance and Procurement departments within the Group
The Procurement team within the DFP is heavily involved in managing the processes associated to Indirect Costs and Direct Operating Costs. For Application support we work closely with the Budapest shared service center
The Direct Operating Cost applications are directly linked to the Air France-KLM flight activity, covering Fuel, Handling, Airport and Navigation charges. On this front, the team is active in the implementation of one Direct Operating Cost System which will lead to a single source for AFKL flight related contracts and invoicing.
For the Indirect Spend a program is running to rationalize and optimize the buying processes. The target system is SAP SRM with the SAP Ariba Business Network. Once implemented this leads to significant better data quality, which will improve the reporting of categorized Spend but most importantly it will lead to a compliant process. For some spend areas that are still hard to ‘manage’ in a rigid IT system we expect to start new initiatives relying on either new tools or external support.
Recently some important initiatives have started to replace the current SAP SRM and SAP Ariba Business Network with a new innovative tool. Next to that, innovative Reporting opportunities are explored and development to provide the business with relevant data and graphics.
In parallel to above mentioned initiatives a program is running that aims to feed all relevant data from the Procurement applications into a central Data & Reporting environment.
