Aldar Properties, a leading property development company based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, has launched a new online procurement portal - BravoAdvantage - in partnership with Tejari, an Emirati strategic procurement company.

The platform will enable Aldar to automate routine procurement tasks and facilitate supplier on-boarding, allowing the group’s procurement team to reallocate resources to focus on more strategic and valuable supply management activities.

The portal supports Aldar’s commitment to maintaining consistent, strategic engagement with its supplier community in order to enhance its registration process visibility.

M Nader Saleh Al Awlaqi, the executive director of procurement at Aldar Properties, said: "Aldar is a significant contributor to developing and reshaping the fabric of urban life in Abu Dhabi in line with the vision of the emirate."

"As such, it is important that we continue to set new standards for our performance, which contributes in facilitating the suppliers’ registration and evaluation functions and contract operations," he noted.

Richard Hogg, the CEO at Tejari, said: "Forward-thinking organisations such as Aldar Properties recognise the tremendous impact procurement can make on an organisation’s overall growth and profitability. By adopting a transformative approach to procurement, Aldar will be able to unlock procurement’s full power and drive excellence that will shape the direction of the organisation."

Tejari played a key role in the implementation of the application, providing end-user training and support to Aldar Properties to ensure the successful adoption of the platform across the organisation.

Tejari, he stated, operates as an integral part of the BravoSolution network with an exclusive focus on the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

Its growing team of more than 60 professionals across Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE provide effective support to a rising portfolio of local clients as well as multi-national organizations operating in the region, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
