What do you like best about Arkestro?

The product is straightforward to use by our internal teams. Once trained, they can use the tool without support from Procurement. The Arkestro team is also very supportive whenever we have a question or a request Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arkestro?

Arkestro works very well for a lot of spend categories; however, in some areas, such as Marketing services, we haven't yet been able to demonstrate the value of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arkestro solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Arkestro is solving is that we don't have the workforce to do RFPs for all our categories, especially those with many small transactions. Arkestro solves this by empowering buyers to conduct their RFPs without involving the Strategic Sourcing team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
