Introducing Archlet 'Spark'

In October 2023 we introduced Archlet 'Spark' to you. Spark serves as a smart automation assistant, enabling Archlet users to easily delegate tasks, ranging from preparing negotiations in Archlet's bid analytics sections to creating automated scenarios. Unlike Copilots, Spark goes beyond providing access to data; it transforms AI interaction – comprehending your needs and managing tasks from start to finish, learning and adapting with each interaction.

We are entering an era of automation, promising an AI-driven future. At Archlet, our commitment is to push the boundaries of what AI can achieve, offering intelligent automation for comprehensive tasks and intuitive interfaces for effortless control.

Spark's initial skill: Scenario Creation

When Spark was born, one of its first jobs was helping users create award scenarios. We thought it could make things easier for users by tackling complex tasks right away. Turns out, it worked well, and our users loved it. After that, we expanded Spark's role to other parts of the product where it made sense. Now, Spark serves as the smart assistant in the e-Sourcing space. The only one of its kind. Capable of assisting with a variety of tasks.

Spark in 2025

Now, Spark does more than just support bid analytics. It helps teams draft better RFIs, structure smarter questionnaires, summarize supplier responses, and even flag which items might be suitable for an e-Auction. It understands the context of your sourcing process and supports you step by step. No prompt engineering or technical inputs needed. Just real, practical help where it matters.

In 2025, Spark has evolved into an Agentic AI. It actively supports sourcing managers through the full lifecycle of a sourcing event. From bid sheet setup to auction recommendations, Spark bridges the gap between data and action.

It’s already helping users:

• Summarize lengthy supplier RFIs in seconds
• Provide suggestions grounded in full-context analysis
• Identify negotiation opportunities based on real-time insights
• Automatically analyze qualitative questionnaire responses to surface themes and trade-offs

Spark isn’t designed to replace your work. It’s designed to make it easier. It shows up where it can save time, reduce complexity, and keep things moving. And because it's built right into the Archlet platform, there’s no separate tool to learn or connect. Just seamless support, right where you need it.

What’s next? Spark is becoming part of a broader agentic workforce: centrally managed, permission-aware, and fine-tuned by procurement use case. Over time, it will expand to support even more decision-making and execution tasks across the sourcing process.
