Archlet's flagship event, Elevate+
On September 30, over 140+ procurement leaders gathered in Zurich for Archlet Elevate+, a full-day event dedicated to The Rise of Agentic Sourcing. The day brought together clients, partners, and industry experts for an agenda packed with keynote sessions, interactive workshops, and candid discussions.
From navigating AI adoption challenges to sharing real-world success stories, Elevate+ offered sharp perspectives, actionable insights, and plenty of inspiration on how data and AI are redefining modern sourcing.

Insights from customers and procurement leaders
The Archlet team kicked off the morning sessions with an update from the Archlet Co-Founders (Lukas Wawrla, Tim Grunow, and Jakob Manz) on the product and strategy shaping the future. Then, Alina Heimgarter, Head of Customer Success, shared client impact stories and adoption updates, where she coined the iconic 'HA-Burger', introducing key ingredients for high adoption.
Then, representing Estée Lauder, Huso Hasanoic and Tena Le Bellec shared their knowledge and insights into Building Technology Adoption. The dynamic duo uncovered what that looks like at Estée Lauder, their journey so far, and how they've deployed Archlet for long-term impact.
Archlet's Alina Heimgartner was then joined on stage by Catherine Frey from Egger, where they dove into Egger's journey with Archlet in the style of a Fireside Chat.
The morning sessions concluded with a though-provoking panel focusing on 'Rolling out eSourcing Tools', where Lukas Wawrla spoke with Mitch Matt (Sazerac), Johnatan Rosillo (Swisslog), Krzysztof Zak (Mohawk). They discussed how to succeed when rolling out eSourcing tools and what to avoid. They took a few questions from the audience, uncovering some key challenges procurement leaders face today and how to overcome them.

Afternoon sessions and interactive workshops
We resumed the day after our networking lunch with Maxim Przystaw from Roland Berger, who talked about Solving the Procurement Paradox, and how AI is changing the game and can improve parts of the procurement process.
The afternoon was dedicated to hands-on learning and discussion during our interactive workshop sessions. Participants explored a range of key procurement topics, from data quality and AI orchestration to eAuction mastery and workflow automation. Partners like Creactives, ORO Labs, and Moneyball CPH shared practical insights and use cases, while Archlet led two deep-dive sessions on AI-powered sourcing and automation in procurement, showcasing how innovation is shaping the next generation of digital sourcing.
To top it off, a final panel with Simon Lo Nardo (Mars), Cyrille Desbazeille, Désiré Mouanga (gategroup), and Daniel Stumm (ChainIQ) ended the event on a high note, discussing the future of sourcing. Moderated by Frank Arendt (CPO, Barry Callebaut), the panelists discussed how technology will shape the space and how people and processees need to adapt to this future. With some interaction and questions from the audience, the panelists gave an overview of where they see procurement heading in the next few years.
Elevate+ ended with some time to unwind over food and drinks, making room for invaluable networking with fellow procurement leaders.
