Arkestro enhances sourcing cycles by learning from supplier behavior, which helps to reduce the time required for these processes.

Supplier quotes often contain errors stemming from manual data entry and copy-pasting, which can complicate the sourcing process. Monitoring the progress of sourcing activities typically involves numerous pivot tables, making the task cumbersome. Additionally, new sourcing cycles often fail to incorporate insights from supplier quotes submitted in prior cycles. To aid in this, our pricing simulator provides immediate recommendations for suppliers to adjust and resubmit their proposals, making the process even more efficient. Ultimately, Arkestro transforms the sourcing landscape by minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency through intelligent data utilization.
