Arkestro vs ATLA Source

Arkestro is a web-based predictive procurement platform for enterprise teams. It analyzes purchasing data with machine learning to recommend prices for sourcing events before suppliers respond. The platform combines behavioral science, game theory, data science, and automation to support pricing, supplier selection, negotiations, and workflow management. Teams can use competitive bidding and dynamic feedback, then manage the award process. Predictive Insights monitors supplier, commodity, and market data to identify risks and opportunities and recommend next steps. Arkestro can sync with ERP or P2P systems, using supplier, item, and historical purchase data and returning event awards to the relevant system; its Professional Services team can guide integration. The maker presents use cases in industries including automotive, manufacturing, oil and gas, construction, financial services, and food and beverage. Arkestro says it uses AWS hosting, AES encryption at rest, and HTTPS and TLS 1.2 in transit. It states that its information security management system is ISO 27001:2022 certified and that it passes SOC 2 Type II audits without exceptions. Pricing is on request.
