Case Study: Bel Brands achieves faster procurement and 10% cost savings with Arkestro

How Bel Brands used Arkestro to automate faster savings

Bel Brands, the multinational cheese company based in Illinois, wanted to improve procurement speed, accuracy, and cost control across its global supplier base. Its RFP process could take up to 90 days, and teams struggled to consolidate information across multiple vendors and stakeholders, creating a time-consuming and cumbersome workflow.

Bel Brands implemented Arkestro’s AI-powered strategic sourcing software to streamline bidding events and supplier communications. With Arkestro, the company modernized its RFP process, reduced manual analysis in Excel, and saw measurable results including a 10% decrease in pricing and a 25% increase in productivity, while also saving an estimated 2 to 10 hours on data analysis alone.
