Interloop Limited adopts SAP Ariba to digitize procurement and boost global competitiveness
In a landmark move to modernize its procurement systems and support long-term growth, Interloop Limited has begun a strategic digital transformation journey through the adoption of SAP Ariba—a leading source-to-contract platform.
Interloop, a powerhouse in Pakistan’s textile exports with over USD 500 million in annual revenues, is transitioning from a decentralized procurement structure to a centralized, tech-driven model as part of its ongoing transformation initiative known as Project North Star.
The deployment of SAP Ariba will equip Interloop with advanced capabilities in supplier management, strategic sourcing, contract lifecycle management, and performance analytics, enabling faster, smarter, and more accountable procurement decisions.
“We are not just automating procurement—we are creating a value-driven, sustainable, and globally connected function,” said Navid Fazil, CEO of Interloop. “SAP Ariba is helping us lay the foundation for transparent and efficient sourcing that drives long-term impact.”
With the new platform, Interloop will benefit from:
-
Faster sourcing cycles
-
Access to a global pool of suppliers
-
Greater visibility and compliance
-
Enhanced governance and cost savings
Saquib Ahmad, Country MD of SAP for Pakistan, Bahrain, Iraq, and Afghanistan, emphasized the significance of this collaboration.
“Interloop’s bold step toward digitalization through SAP Ariba sets a benchmark for the region. It’s a game-changer for procurement innovation in Pakistan’s textile sector.”
The transformation aligns closely with Interloop’s sustainability goals and its commitment to responsible supply chain practices, echoing its support for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As one of the region’s most influential exporters, Interloop’s adoption of SAP Ariba is expected to enhance operational resilience, improve margins through cost optimization, and reinforce Pakistan’s competitiveness in global textile markets.
