Frequently asked questions
How quickly can we get value from Arkestro?
Vendor materials say enterprises achieve results in as little as two months, and one automotive case study describes going live in two days with results within a week and no workflow disruption. A Koch Engineered Solutions story reports measurable gains in speed, productivity and hard-dollar savings within 90 days. Treat a first production event in days to weeks and broad results in one to two quarters as the realistic planning range.
How is Arkestro priced?
Pricing is not published on the Arkestro website. The product is presented as an enterprise platform with a custom subscription, so buyers should expect a scoped quote based on spend coverage and module mix. There is no free tier or self-serve plan listed, and no implementation fee is disclosed publicly; the vendor routes interested buyers through a demo request.
Does Arkestro integrate with our ERP and P2P systems?
Yes. Arkestro states the platform is designed to sync quickly with any ERP or P2P system, covering master data (supplier contacts, item data, PO history) and transactional data such as event creation from ERP or demand planning data and awarding prices back to the source system. A published customer story describes integrating Infor's cloud ERP with Arkestro for Koch Engineered Solutions.
What AI capabilities does Arkestro actually provide?
Arkestro describes AI-driven intelligent first offers that set a starting price before supplier quotes, AI-powered supplier selection and engagement, and Buyer hands-free autonomous negotiation that converts single-source spot buys into multi-supplier, multi-round events. The vendor does not publish which model providers it uses, whether customers can bring their own keys, or per-action AI logging and export detail.
Is Arkestro secure and certified?
The vendor security page states ISO 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system and SOC 2 Type II audits passed without exceptions. It also cites AWS cloud-native hosting, AES encryption at rest, HTTPS and TLS 1.2 in transit, annual penetration tests plus vulnerability scanning, and annual employee security awareness training.
