BA will be rolling out e-sourcing software from Frictionless over the next few months to cut procurement costs.

All sections of sourcing across the flight operator's business will use the software - from services to products and materials.

The airline spends more than £5bn a year on goods and services from suppliers and the move is part of BA's commitment to strategic sourcing.
