Oman Air has moved to increase the efficiency of its procurement operations and reduce its trading costs through a groundbreaking partnership with Tejari, the Middle East’s online marketplace.
Oman Air has become one of the latest companies to utilise Tejari Strategic Procurement Services, and will also benefit from Tejari’s state-of-the-art B2B marketplace.
Oman Air executives are particularly attracted to the market reach and transparency of Tejari’s online auction process, and the expertise of the company’s advisors. “Oman Air’s core attributes are punctuality, professionalism and service excellence, and Tejari’s fast, intuitive consulting service is set to enhance these attributes by keeping us informed of the latest opportunities for agreements and acquisitions, and providing an insightful, long-term overview of our future growth,” said Abdulrahman Al Busaidy, CEO, Oman Air. “Oman Air ensures the fairness and transparency of its procurement practises, and Tejari’s online marketplace optimises these values. Our partnership with Tejari will also help us ensure that we’re offering opportunities to a range of trading partners locally, regionally and on a global level.”
Tejari launched its procurement consulting services at the end of May, promoting more effective supplier management, and strategic sourcing, which can save regional businesses anywhere from 5 to 15 percent of their procurement costs. Such savings have been demonstrated by businesses across the region. Having already established customer relationships with other leading airlines, Tejari will bring its experience of the airline industry to bear in this partnership.
