Archlet and Xeneta launch integration to bring real-time freight market data into strategic sourcing

Zurich, Switzerland and Oslo, Norway January 19, 2026

Archlet, the AI-native strategic sourcing platform, and Xeneta, the global leader in real-time ocean and air freight intelligence, have announced a new integration designed to elevate freight sourcing with greater transparency and market insight.

Freight procurement increasingly depends on timely and accurate market intelligence. By combining Xeneta’s real-time market insights with Archlet’s bid analytics and scenario optimization, organizations can compare and benchmark freight rates with greater accuracy and speed.

The integration enables users to enrich their ocean and air freight RFQs with Xeneta’s benchmark data directly inside Archlet, giving teams immediate visibility into how supplier offers compare to broader market trends. Within Archlet’s sourcing environment, users can:

  • Benchmark supplier bids against real-time ocean and air freight rates
  • Identify non-competitive or outlier quotes across complex lane structures
  • Incorporate transit time and sustainability considerations into analysis
  • Accelerate bid evaluation with AI-powered insights from Archlet Spark
  • Model optimized award scenarios using both supplier data and market benchmarks
  • Strengthen negotiations with transparent, data-backed evidence

Together, the two platforms help procurement teams move faster, understand competitiveness at a glance, and make more informed freight sourcing decisions.

Lukas Wawrla, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Archlet, said: “Freight sourcing needs speed and clarity, especially when teams manage hundreds of lanes in quickly shifting markets.  

“With Xeneta’s benchmarks embedded in Archlet’s bid analysis and scenario engine, procurement teams can assess bids within seconds, negotiate with confidence, and use their time for the most strategic parts of their freight tenders.”

Patrik Berglund, CEO and Co-Founder of Xeneta, commented “An effective procurement strategy within highly-complex and volatile global supply chains must be data-driven.

“The opportunity to integrate Xeneta rate benchmarking data within Archlet’s sourcing environment allows shippers to make the right procurement decision based on the market conditions on their specific trade lanes at the exact moment they are buying freight.”
