Supplier relationship management

Know every supplier. Source with confidence.

Arqelo brings onboarding, sourcing, contracts, performance and risk into one platform, and adds AI that does the reading, comparing and chasing, while your team keeps the decisions.

30-minute demo, no commitment. We reply within one business day. Available in English, French and Arabic.

The problem

Supplier work lives in too many places

Spreadsheets for master data, inboxes for quotes, shared drives for certificates. Nothing connects, and the risk hides in the gaps.

  1. 01

    Scattered data

    Duplicate suppliers, outdated bank details and documents nobody can find when an auditor asks.

  2. 02

    Slow, manual sourcing

    Quotes arrive as PDFs and photos. Comparing them takes days and the reasoning is rarely written down.

  3. 03

    Blind spots

    Expired certificates, late deliveries and weak ESG answers are discovered after they cost you.

One connected flow

From first contact to long-term performance

Every step feeds the next. What you learn at onboarding informs sourcing, and what happens in delivery informs the next decision.

01 Onboard

Invite, collect, approve

Suppliers register through their own portal, complete the questionnaire and upload documents. Your approval chain runs with SLAs and delegation.

  • Self-service supplier portal
  • Conditional questionnaires
  • Purchasing, Quality and Finance approvals
02 Source

RFQ, RFP and live auctions

Run structured events, score proposals against weighted criteria and let suppliers compete in reverse auctions in real time.

  • Weighted scoring for RFPs
  • Live reverse auctions
  • Side-by-side bid comparison
03 Contract

Never miss a renewal

Keep contracts linked to suppliers and awards, route them for approval and watch consumption against what was agreed.

  • Approval workflow
  • Renewal and expiry alerts
  • Consumption tracking
04 Perform

Measure and improve

Scorecards combine delivery, quality and price data. Audits, corrective actions and re-qualification close the loop.

  • On-time and quality KPIs
  • Audits and corrective actions
  • Periodic re-qualification

AI, with a human in charge

AI that does the reading. You make the call.

Arqelo uses language models where they save hours, and checks every answer against your own data before you see it.

Document extraction

Reads certificates, registrations and bank letters, including scans and photos, and proposes the fields. You confirm or reject.

Supplier copilot

Ask in plain language. Answers cite the documents and records they came from, so you can verify them in one click.

Bid analysis

Facts and findings are computed first, then explained. Figures in the award memo are re-checked and totals recomputed.

Sourcing agent

Describe the need. The agent drafts the RFQ, shortlists suppliers, chases and summarises, pausing for your approval before launch and before award.

Ask Arqelo

Questions, answered

What is Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)?

SRM is the discipline and software that manages everything about your suppliers: onboarding, qualification, sourcing, contracts, performance and risk. Arqelo covers these in one platform.

Do we have to replace our ERP?

No. Your ERP stays the system of record for orders, receipts and invoices. Arqelo ingests them through the API or imports and uses them for scorecards, spend and contract consumption.

Can the AI make decisions on its own?

No. Extraction results wait for confirmation, answers cite their sources, and the sourcing agent stops for human approval before launching an RFQ and before awarding it.

Which languages are supported?

The application and the supplier portal work in English, French and Arabic, including right-to-left layout.

Can suppliers use it too?

Yes. Each supplier gets a portal to complete its profile, answer questionnaires, upload documents and message your team.
