Challenge
TotalEnergies is transforming to deliver sustainable energy solutions while reducing emissions. Procurement plays a central role in this journey, supporting both digitalization and sustainability goals. In complex tenders with many items, suppliers, currencies, and cost breakdowns, buyers struggled with limited tools. Excel-based bid analysis was error-prone, time-consuming, and left little room for strategic supplier feedback. Buyers lacked the ability to quickly simulate scenarios, compare offers, or generate insights that would strengthen negotiations. To increase efficiency, transparency, and professionalism in sourcing, TotalEnergies set out to find a solution that could make bid analysis faster and smarter.
Solution
After reviewing several options, TotalEnergies selected Archlet as its sourcing analytics platform. Archlet convinced the team with its user-friendly interface, advanced scenario capabilities, and quick implementation using data from a past tender. Today, Archlet supports buyers in analyzing complex RFQs, creating scenarios in minutes, and preparing clear data-driven feedback for suppliers. Even less experienced buyers can follow Archlet’s guided process, while advanced users unlock new negotiation strategies and sustainability-focused allocations.
Results
With Archlet, TotalEnergies has elevated the professionalism of its buyers, strengthening relationships with stakeholders, improving data awareness, and building strategic competencies across the team. At the same time, the company achieved additional savings of 2-5% by enabling data-driven negotiations and more impactful supplier feedback. Automated data consolidation and scenario optimization have also accelerated sourcing cycles, reducing the time spent on manual analysis and allowing buyers to focus on more strategic tasks.
What's next?
Encouraged by the results, TotalEnergies is rolling out Archlet to more categories and has standardized bid sheet templates to accelerate sourcing events. Procurement teams can now focus on strategic work such as stakeholder management and supplier collaboration, directly supporting the company’s sustainability and transformation ambitions.
