Arkestro
No login, no app, no hassle. Seamless one-click sourcing events in your suppliers' inbox, embedded with real-time predictive data. Our flexible data model works for every category of spend. If you can source it in Excel, you can source it using Arkestro. Predictive anomaly detection catches and corrects errors before they reach procurement. Role-based access simplifies project management for sourcing events, enabling any stakeholder to get updates. Sourcing events in Arkestro learn from your supplier's behavior to shorten cycles. A simplified email-based workflow provides you with any set of award scenarios for any size or complexity of sourcing events. Supplier quotes are filled with errors from data entry and copy-paste. Checking on the status of a sourcing process requires a slew of pivot tables. New sourcing cycles don’t learn from supplier quotes in previous cycles. Use our pricing simulator to generate instant suggestions for your suppliers to modify and submit.
