Archlet named partner in the ORO Partner Enterprise Network (OPEN)

the Archlet Team

Archlet is now part of the ORO Partner Enterprise Network, known as OPEN. Through this partnership, ORO’s procurement orchestration layer connects directly with Archlet’s sourcing intelligence, creating one continuous process from intake to supplier award.

‍

Why procurement needs connected experiences

‍

Most enterprises do not run procurement on a single platform. Teams operate across multiple tools for intake, sourcing, contracting, analytics, supplier risk, and payment. Replacing everything with one suite is not realistic. What organizations really need is a connected experience across these tools. OPEN was built to achieve exactly that.

‍

Intake flows into sourcing

‍

With ORO orchestrating intake, a request enters the system and is automatically routed through the right path. Instead of stopping there, the flow continues directly into Archlet, where a sourcing event is created using existing supplier data, context, and templates. Archlet structures the event, supports bid collection, compares suppliers in a clear view, runs scenario optimization, and identifies the best award based on cost and strategy. Once the award decision is confirmed, ORO carries it forward into existing processes for approval, contracting, or execution. The user experiences a single guided flow, even though multiple specialized systems are working together in the background.

‍

Orchestration and agentic AI keep the process moving

‍

This works because ORO does more than integrate systems. It orchestrates people, policies, AI agents, and data through no code configuration. Agentic AI keeps processes moving proactively, triggering steps and follow ups without waiting for manual input, while still respecting governance rules. Archlet acts as the sourcing intelligence layer inside this flow, turning supplier data into clear recommendations and ensuring award decisions are transparent and defensible.

‍

A new ecosystem model for procurement technology

‍

By connecting intake, sourcing, and execution into one governed flow, handovers disappear, cycle times shorten, and compliance increases. Everything remains traceable while keeping the user experience simple and guided.

‍

OPEN signals a shift in how procurement technology is consumed. Orchestration and agentic AI sit at the core, with specialized partners like Archlet, Craft, Axiom, and Candex extending depth where it matters. The ecosystem runs alongside existing S2P and P2P platforms like SAP and GEP and connects with analytics tools such as SpendHQ and Sievo. This way, enterprises gain flexibility to activate best of breed capabilities without losing control or visibility.

‍

Archlet as the sourcing intelligence engine inside OPEN

‍

Archlet’s role in this setup is clear. ORO provides orchestration across systems. Archlet delivers decision intelligence within sourcing. The result is a seamless intake-to-award journey that improves speed, decision quality, and value capture with less effort from procurement teams.

‍

For organizations aiming to modernize sourcing without replacing their full stack, this partnership offers a direct path. Keep your core systems, layer orchestration with ORO, activate sourcing intelligence with Archlet, and run a fully connected process from request to award. Everything stays governed, automated, and designed for measurable impact.
