Tony Harris's experience at Frictionless Commerce introduced him to Procurement, kickstarting nearly two decades in the industry, driving innovation

Tony Harris began his current career path at Frictionless Commerce in Europe, marking his entry into the procurement and supply chain technology sector. As the company's first hire outside North America, he initially competed against the very company he would later serve for 18 years and counting. With a background in CRM and ERP software, Harris's role at Frictionless ignited his passion for procurement technology and set the stage for his extensive career at SAP.


At SAP, Harris has excelled in various global functions, including sales, product management, partner management and recently, marketing. Reflecting on his journey, Harris credits Frictionless for his initial exposure to this field, stating, "Frictionless was the reason I got into this particular software segment and then SAP has really enabled me to grow and well in fact thrive in this space.”


He has observed a significant evolution in supply chain management, particularly with SAP's digital solutions and the SAP Business Network. " The network really bridges the breakpoint between where the solutions are great at managing the internal part of the process, to the trading partners that operate outside the 4 walls of the business and outside of those internal systems ," Harris explains. This network has been pivotal in transforming supply chains from rigid linear models to more dynamic and agile systems, enhancing visibility and flexibility.
