Indirect Procurement Transformation

Celestica is in the process of transforming its Indirect Procurement process.The project is broken down into three phases: Phase one is sourcing and contracting, phase two is supplier risk and performance (SRPM), and phase three is procure to order. 

In March 2024, Celestica began phase one, using Ivalua to manage indirect procurement processes.  This included requests for quotes and proposals, contract collaboration and supplier profile management. The Ivalua platform facilitates connections between Celestica and its suppliers, streamlining sourcing and contracting across various categories.

All suppliers will need to create an Ivalua account upon invitation from a Celestica team member. There is no cost associated with this. 

We are now in phase two, focused on supplier management  which will enhance collaboration and create a more transparent and integrated supply chain. This phase focuses on supplier onboarding, records management, and performance review through the user-friendly portal. Once phase two is deployed, you can expect the following:

• Enhanced Communication: The platform allows real-time communication and collaboration between Celestica and its suppliers. 
• Standardized processes: Ivalua provides standardized templates and workflows.
• Consolidated platform: All supplier-related activities are managed in the Ivalua platform.

This new functionality will be available as of January 13, 2025.

This page will be updated with additional information as we approach Januare 13, 2025. Job aids for the supplier management deployment in Ivalua are available below under the “Quick Reference Guides and Job Aids” section.
