How to source competitively with Arkestro

Data ingestion

Skip the blank slate. Snap a photo of a quote sheet or upload historical POs, contracts, and item data in any format, and Arkestro's AI builds a smart cost baseline for every line item automatically.

Supplier recommendation

Widen the competitive field for every event without adding sourcing admin. Arkestro evaluates supplier capabilities, pricing patterns, and past performance to instantly recommend the best-fit suppliers and contacts.

Suggested pricing

Lead with the first number instead of reacting to one. Before a quote arrives, Arkestro predicts each supplier's willingness to discount and applies a data-backed price to every line item.

Game theoretic feedback

Give every supplier a reason to compete. Arkestro delivers individualized, line-item-level feedback showing each supplier where they rank, creating competition while you stay fully in control.

Multi-factor award

Make the optimal call on every line item, at scale. Arkestro simulates cost, quality, and risk to model the best supplier(s) award, then allows you to make the final decision with full auditability.

Key capabilities

Multi-round autonomous negotiation

Apply competition to every event by running RFPs, RFQs, and spot buys across your entire supplier base at once, not one call at a time.

Line-item quote comparison

Replace the spreadsheet nightmare of reconciling mismatched quotes and part numbers. Arkestro compares every response at the line-item level, automatically.

Expanded supplier base

Arkestro recommends suppliers that are vetted for capability and performance, so your decisions aren’t limited to the same or incumbent suppliers you’ve been using for years.
