Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sourcing events is Archlet best suited for?
Archlet supports RFIs, RFQs, RFPs, and auctions of all sizes. It is especially powerful for large line-item or lane-based events, multi-supplier events, and multi-currency events where cost, risk, and constraints must be balanced.
Is Archlet suitable for both direct and indirect spend, as well as strategic, tactical, and tail spend?
Yes. Archlet supports direct materials, packaging, logistics, Capex, MRO, and services. It works equally well for tactical events, tail spend consolidation, and strategic sourcing programs.
Is Archlet suitable for complex logistics and freight sourcing projects?
Yes. Archlet is used by leading enterprises to source air, ocean, road, and rail freight.

Archlet simplifies this complexity so freight events can be managed with ease.
How does Archlet support sourcing automation?
Archlet automates tasks such as RFI and questionnaire creation, bid sheet setup, supplier invites, reminders, data validation, and award scenario generation. Archlet’s AI Spark also automates many steps through the interface, helping teams reduce cycle times and focus on strategic work.
How does Archlet enable scenario comparison and sourcing optimization?
Archlet lets buyers create unlimited scenarios to test cost, risk, and capacity trade-offs. Constraints such as limiting the number of suppliers, setting volume caps, enforcing incumbency, applying discounts, or creating regional splits can be applied with a few clicks. This makes award decisions transparent and defensible.
How does Archlet help reduce costs and improve decision-making in complex sourcing events?
Archlet combines optimization, price benchmarks, and AI insights to reveal hidden savings and highlight risks in supplier proposals. This helps procurement teams negotiate better outcomes and make confident award decisions.
Can Archlet be used as a standalone procurement system?
Yes. Archlet can be used on its own or integrated with ERP, P2P, and other procurement tools. Many customers make Archlet their central sourcing hub while keeping existing systems in place. Open APIs make integration flexible.
How much time and cost can Archlet save in the sourcing process?
Customers typically cut cycle times by 30% and achieve 5–25% incremental savings. By automating manual work, Archlet frees buyers to focus on strategy instead of spreadsheets.
