Shopping a'la Procurement

e-Catalogue

e-Catalogue

The e-Catalogue is an online ordering system, facilitated by Coupa, that allows buyers inside Arla Foods to easily order goods from a user-friendly platform. The e-Catalogue displays a selection of items with agreed prices that have been negotiated between Arla Foods and the supplier.

It is only our preferred suppliers that are considered suitable for having an e-Catalogue, and it will always be Arla Foods that decide whether an e-Catalogue should be included in the contract.

Step by step

Getting started

Creating and updating an e-Catalogue

If a supplier is chosen to have an e-Catalogue, the supplier will be contacted by Arla Foods. The supplier will be trained in the system and asked to fill out a template. The template needs to be filled out, uploaded and published to create the e-Catalogue. 

Our agreed prices and items must always be in the active e-Catalogue. Therefore, suppliers must keep e-Catalogues updated so buyers in Arla Foods can access the right items with the right descriptions at all times.
