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 Management, and phase three is Procure to Order. 

In March 2024, Celestica went live with phase one functionality while deploying the new platform, Ivalua, to manage indirect procurement upstream processes. This included requests for quotes and proposals and contract collaboration. 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 for any of Celestica’s suppliers using the system. 

Phase two is now live, enabling 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.  

Job aids for the supplier management deployment in Ivalua are available below under the “Quick Reference Guides and Job Aids” section.

The benefits of using Ivalua:

• Eligible to be awarded business based on responses provided to bids launched and responded to in Ivalua
• Transparency throughout the procurement process and a real-time status 
• Better management of purchase orders, data and information (after phase 3 go-live)
• Collaborative tool, efficient and optimized completion of process steps as well as response time between parties
• History of steps, events, documents, exchanges with Celestica all in one location

A Supplier must be invited by a Celestica Indirect Procurement team member to access Ivalua and a link will be provided at that time.  

The mandatory fields to fill in are: 

• Supplier English Name 
• Supplier Address
• Supplier (Group or Head Office) 
  • The Supplier will receive an email notification to advise of the login and user name with a temporary password.
  • The General Terms of use must be completed.
