-- COVID-19 and the Supply Chain Challenge --
Businesses are facing unprecedented challenges right now. With factories closing all around the globe, supply chains have been dramatically weakened. But procurement operations are proving to be more resilient than most expected.

Haydon’s team is stepping up to the new challenge by providing free access to SAP Ariba Discovery, so any buyer can post their immediate sourcing needs and any supplier can respond to show they can deliver. As the world’s largest business-to-business marketplace, the network handles more than double the business volume of Amazon, Alibaba, and eBay combined. Recently, a customer was able to find a new source for hospital beds in just 35 minutes.
