Archlet 'Elevate' in Amsterdam

Written by

Archlet took Elevate to Amsterdam, gathering procurement leaders, innovators, and technology partners for an evening of insight, collaboration, and connection. Continuing our “Beyond the AI Hype” series, the event explored how AI and data are driving real impact in procurement, and what it takes to translate innovation into tangible results.

Our Amsterdam Speakers: Turning Insight into Action

The evening began with a welcome from Lukas Wawrla, Co-Founder of Archlet, setting the tone for an event centered on practical applications of AI in procurement.

Our first panel discussion, “How AI Actually Adds Value for Procurement”, featured Alexandre Turolla and Bram Heijblom from IFF, who shared their perspectives on where AI delivers the most value today. The conversation emphasized how success depends on pairing technology with the right processes and stakeholder engagement, ensuring adoption and alignment across teams.

Following the panel, the focus shifted to “From Data to Strategy to Execution”, with tech use cases presented by SpendHQ, Cirtuo with Vattenfall, and Archlet.

  • SpendHQ demonstrated how their platform turns complex procurement data into actionable insights.
  • Cirtuo and Vattenfall shared their journey of making AI “stick,” highlighting the human side of adoption and the role of clear, simple strategies in enabling change.
  • Archlet showcased how our AI layer, Spark, accelerates sourcing workflows by automating scenario modeling and transforming unstructured data into structured RFPs.

Conversations, Collaboration & Networking

The event wrapped up with a lively networking session over drinks and a flying dinner. Attendees connected with peers, exchanged experiences, and discussed the cultural and operational shifts needed to unlock AI’s full potential in procurement.
