Frequently Asked Questions
What is Archlet and what does it do?
Archlet is an AI-native eSourcing platform that helps procurement teams run RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, and eAuctions. It includes advanced analytics, scenario optimization, and automation. Archlet makes it simple to create events, collaborate with suppliers, and decide on awards, so sourcing becomes faster, smarter, and easier across all categories.
Where is Archlet from?
Archlet was founded in Zürich, Switzerland by three engineers, Lukas, Jakob, and Tim, who studied Robotics and Data Science at ETH Zürich. While working on AI and data science consulting projects in 2018 and 2019, they realized sourcing tools hadn’t kept up with the times. The gap was clear: technology and AI offered a huge opportunity to make procurement smarter, easier, and fit for the modern age. That’s why they started Archlet in late 2019.
