Archlet has had the privilege of partnering with OMV Group, one of Europe’s leading energy and chemicals companies, as they undergo a major transformation. With a clear ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, OMV is evolving into an integrated, sustainable chemicals, fuels, and energy company. Procurement is playing a key role in supporting this shift.

At the center of this effort is Martin Traxl’s team, which is leading OMV’s digitalization agenda. "Our mission is to create value through procurement by leveraging state-of-the-art technology," says Traxl, Head of Strategy & Digitalization and Program Manager for SAP S/4 HANA Procurement and SAP Ariba.

In 2023, OMV partnered with Archlet to integrate our sourcing optimization solution into their SAP Ariba ecosystem. This collaboration aims to strengthen sourcing decisions and make negotiations more strategic and insight-driven.

"We leverage Archlet alongside SAP Ariba to maximize value capture in our complex sourcing categories." Traxl adds.

Through this partnership, OMV is working to boost savings by making negotiations more data-driven and outcome-focused. The goal is to reduce manual effort in sourcing processes, freeing up capacity to bring more spend under strategic management. By leveraging AI, OMV is also able to automate bid analysis and quickly build sourcing scenarios, allowing procurement teams to move faster and make more informed decisions.

On Tour with OMV: Elevate Workshops in Vienna and Bucharest

To bring this collaboration closer to the teams, we recently held workshops in Vienna and Bucharest, spending time with sourcing teams from both OMV Group and OMV Petrom. These sessions were interactive and practical, focused on how Archlet can support day-to-day sourcing and long-term value creation.

We explored real examples of how OMV is applying Archlet to simplify complex bid comparisons and prepare for negotiations with more structure and confidence. The platform also supports decision-making by providing clearer data and scenario insights that help teams navigate complexity more effectively.

The engagement from the teams stood out. The workshops focused on more than just tools. They sparked conversation, encouraged feedback, and opened up space to explore better ways of working.

Building Toward What’s Next

Collaborating with OMV shows what’s possible when teams are open to new ways of working and committed to driving change. These sessions helped reinforce shared priorities, surface new ideas, and move one step closer to smarter, more connected procurement practices.

We’re proud to support OMV on this journey and look forward to continuing the work together.
