Linkana + SAP Ariba
Partnership

Boost your SAP Ariba with Linkana

Linkana plugs into Ariba SLP and supercharges supplier onboarding and due diligence — with automated lookups, AI review and a supplier experience that just works.

The boost Ariba SLP doesn't ship alone

Everything Linkana adds to your Ariba to accelerate due diligence and eliminate manual work.

Frictionless supplier experience

No locked invitations. Suppliers receive a link, fill it out in minutes and reuse the data.

Automated public lookups

Tax IDs, certificates, sanctions, compliance, labor and banking data — checked in real time and consolidated into a risk score.

Linkana AI reviewing documents

Permits, contracts, balance sheets and statements reviewed by AI in seconds, with field validation and risk flagging.

Continuous monitoring

Ownership changes, certificate expirations, sanctions and legal proceedings tracked in real time with automated alerts.

Ariba integration

Integrated architecture: Linkana + SAP Ariba SLP

Ariba stays as the supplier system of record. Linkana takes over data collection, validation and approval.
