Laboratoires Thea Selects Ivalua’s Platform and Fluxym’s Methodology for Supplier Management and Sourcing

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ivalua, a global leader in spend management, and its partner integrator Fluxym, today announced that Laboratoires Théa (Théa) has selected the Ivalua platform to manage its supplier repository, digitize its sourcing processes and automate supplier evaluation and risk monitoring.

To support its growth, the Théa group launched a tender to select and deploy a solution that would meet its ambitions to improve its procurement processes and performance.

In particular, the group identified opportunities in four areas:

• Continuing to develop the performance, productivity and efficiency of the group’s centralized procurement department.
• Increasing user and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Harmonizing and automating procurement processes to reduce processing times and the administrative burden.
• Improving risk management and regulatory compliance, particularly for strategic suppliers.

After evaluating several market players, Théa selected the Ivalua solution. Ivalua stood out for the innovative functional depth of its platform, its ability to automate SRM processes, its ease of use and its interoperability.

Furthermore, Fluxym’s proposed methodology convinced Théa, thanks to its alignment with the company’s needs and the consultants’ availability and responsiveness during the consultation phase.

The effective collaboration between Ivalua and Fluxym demonstrated the complementary nature of these players, which will be essential to the success of the project.

“We are delighted to put our expertise in supplier knowledge and SRPM (Supplier Risk and Performance Management) at the service of Laboratoires Théa in order to meet the specific quality requirements of their sector,” concluded Christophe Rivayran, Fluxym’s Development Director.

“The Théa Group’s decision to choose Ivalua, in partnership with Fluxym, is a testament to our ability to effectively meet the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry. We are thrilled to empower Théa with Ivalua’s single, unified platform to optimize its operational efficiency,” said Dan Amzallag, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Ivalua.
