Company mission

We are on a mission to democratise strategic sourcing.

Our take

Sourcing and procurement is one of the most important processes for many businesses, ranging from large enterprises to SMEs. Yet many such businesses are stuck in the past. In fact, over 95% of businesses still rely on Excel to evaluate supplier bids, a system which is slow and prone to user biases and errors.

Archlet wants to be at the forefront of change in this market. Founded in 2019, Archlet is a user-first sourcing software company that helps companies make better sourcing decisions faster by providing best-in-class sourcing, analytics and optimisation capabilities. Despite its relative youth, Archlet has already secured partnerships with the likes of PepsiCo, Emmi Group, Deutsche Bahn and Gordon Food Service.

Thanks to its early performance, Archlet has managed to secure early funding, which it is using to prioritise growth. Archlet will face tough competition in this market from the likes of Supari and Capterra. Key to getting ahead in this market will be making the best use of AI and machine learning, which has great potential in this field. If their early successes are anything to go by, though, Archlet looks well positioned to make the most of this and create real success in the future.

Company values

  • Mit Härz | Always starting from the heart, we act with compassion and kindness to cultivate a space in which we love to exist, and all who encounter us love to experience. ​We practice empathy. Respect our neighbors. Cultivate joy. Celebrate each other. We remember to enjoy the journey as we pursue our mission because we love what we do and deeply respect the people who do it with us. Otherwise, why would we be here? ​
  • Mountain Climbers | Optimistic and driven, we continually ask ourselves: How can we do better for our customers? Do more for our team? Dream bigger? Climb higher? We thrive when we set big visions for the future we know we can’t achieve yet. We move quickly and take risks with intention. When we fall, we get back up. We dust ourselves off, learn from our efforts and support one another as we set out for our next climb
  • A-Team | A-players win games, A-Teams win championships. The immeasurable strength of Archlet comes from bringing together A-players—each with their own unique backgrounds, perspectives, and skillsets—into one all-star team. It’s the spirit of our differences and the calibre of our contributions that strengthen our united effort. Our team is stronger when everyone contributes, when everyone’s diverse voices and viewpoints are shared and celebrated. It makes us better. It sharpens our thinking. It propels us toward our shared horizon.
  • User Driven | Listening to our users’ needs allows us to channel our passion and resources to make the most impact. A deep and empathetic understanding of our users grounds us. It’s what informs the design of our product, shapes our communications, and drives us to always go the extra mile. With our users as our North Star, we never lose sight of them. We’re always striving to anticipate their needs and create real value that reverberates
  • Own it! | We uphold our commitments to each other and our users—matching our actions to our words. We might not get everything right all the time, but when we fall short, we own it. We don’t hide mistakes under the rug, shy away from difficult decisions, or breeze over tricky topics. We confront them with integrity—sharing our thoughts and feedback openly, reflecting on our mistakes, and moving forward—knowing the A-Team is behind us.
