PSO launches e-procurement by SAP Ariba

The country’s most progressive energy company, Pakistan State Oil (PSO), once again took the lead with the launch of e-procurement through SAP Ariba.

Now PSO will supply services through the internet but, it is a little different from e-commerce. This service is only available for registered users.

This important milestone in the PSO’s digital transformation journey was marked by a ceremony held at the company’s headquarters in Karachi, where the Chief Executive Officer and CEO – PSO, Syed Muhammad Taha formally launched the program.

Managing Director – SAP Pakistan, Mr. Saquib Ahmad, and President Excellence Delivered Pvt. Ltd – Mr. Sajjad Syed was also present at the event, along with senior company employees and project management teams.

Speaking at the time, the Executive Director and CEO – PSO, Syed Muhammad Taha said:

PSO has proved once again that we are an energy company that reaches the future first. The pandemic underscored the importance of being agile and digitally ready in the rapidly evolving business landscape. Being technology-oriented is no longer a choice, but a necessity. PSO has always taken the lead in adopting emerging technologies, be it the adoption of SAP in 2005, pioneering fuel cards, or the implementation of e-procurement through SAP Ariba now.
