Arkestro

We offer a Predictive Procurement Platform that uses AI and game theory to find hidden savings and lower risk, letting procurement teams manage more spending. Our patented technology combines three core areas: Negotiation Science (fact-based strategies for pricing and terms), Supplier Science (AI-driven supplier selection and engagement), and Process Science (automated workflows to speed up procurement cycles). We help businesses set prices with AI, typically saving 18.8% on every $1 million spent. Users also see 60% faster cycle times and can manage three times more spend without extra staff. Customers report an average of 34% savings per event and 92% supplier participation. Our platform works across many sectors, including CPG, Chemical Manufacturing, Biotechnology, Health Services, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, Construction, Interiors & Furnishings. It handles Direct Materials, Indirect Materials, CapEx, MRO, Indirect Services, IT projects, Capital Expenditure, Logistics, and Maintenance, Repair, and Operations. Our solution can be live in as little as 5 days and typically pays for itself within 45 days.

Our mission is to increase procurement’s influence. We aim to power a global predictive economy. Our core values are: Curiosity: We challenge the status quo, ask “why,” and build empathy. Integrity: We inspire confidence through honesty, trust, transparency, and accountability. Collaboration: We execute without ego, value different opinions, and encourage constructive dissent. Grit: We work hard with purpose, take on challenges, and show passion and perseverance to achieve great results.
