The Archlet Elevate Hamburg event at Kuehne Logistics University brought an incredible group of procurement professionals, partners, and thought leaders to discuss how AI and data truly add value to Digital Sourcing. The evening was filled with invaluable insights, meaningful knowledge sharing, and great new connections.

Insights from procurement experts

The event began with Paolo Causo, Head of Procurement at Elsdorfer Molkerei, who shared his experience of using digital sourcing tools for over 20 years. He highlighted the challenges of running RFPs manually and emphasized that adopting AI-powered eSourcing solutions, such as Archlet, is no longer optional but essential for procurement efficiency.

Next, Jacob Gorm Larsen, Founder of Moneyball CPH, provided a deeper dive into how to effectively approach AI in digital sourcing. With experience running over 10,000 digital sourcing events, Jacob shared key insights into leveraging AI for market-driven negotiations and optimizing procurement processes.

Thorsten Diephaus from Xeneta then explored how real-time market data is transforming ocean and air freight sourcing. He explained how Xeneta’s data-driven market indexes are set to disrupt traditional approaches in freight procurement, enabling sourcing professionals to base their decisions on data rather than intuition.

Closing the speaker sessions, Lukas Wawrla, Co-Founder of Archlet, showcased concrete examples of how Archlet’s AI agent, Spark, is harnessing the latest AI technology to add value for end users, making sourcing decisions faster and smarter.

The event concluded with an engaging panel discussion and open Q&A, where attendees had the opportunity to interact with speakers, exchange ideas, and explore the future of procurement. The evening wrapped up with networking, fostering valuable connections between procurement professionals and industry innovators.
