Case Study: Power Design achieves 11‑day faster material purchases and cost reductions with Arkestro Predictive Procurement

Power Design Beats The Market: Using Predictive AI for Faster Wins in Materials Cost Management

Power Design, a leading national design‑build contractor, faced post‑COVID inflation, supply‑chain volatility and an outdated file‑posting system that made collecting and comparing supplier quotes slow and error‑prone, threatening margins on fixed‑price contracts. They turned to Arkestro’s Predictive Procurement to become more agile and data‑driven in sourcing and pricing decisions.

Using Arkestro’s Predictive Procurement and predictive AI, Power Design moved to a user‑friendly platform that accelerated RFQ cycles, produced faster best‑and‑final offers, and improved supplier engagement; Arkestro enabled Power Design to buy materials an average of 11 days earlier and complete 370+ closed competitive events, delivering measurable cost reductions and stronger margins on fixed‑price projects.
