Examples: Automating Archlet Entity Research & Insights with Tonkean

For enterprise procurement and operations professionals, timely access to accurate supplier and entity information is critical for effective decision-making. Yet, researching and synthesizing insights across all Archlet entities—such as suppliers, contracts, and spend categories—can be a manual, fragmented, and error-prone process. Tonkean’s Search Archlet Agent template solves these challenges by orchestrating research, aggregation, and reporting of Archlet data, all within a unified, automated workflow.

1. Automated Supplier Research & Insights

Imagine a procurement manager who needs a comprehensive overview of all suppliers in Archlet for an upcoming quarterly review. Traditionally, this would involve logging into Archlet, exporting data, manually compiling reports, and cross-referencing with other systems. With Tonkean’s Search Archlet Agent, this process is fully automated. The agent can:

• Query Archlet’s supplier database in real-time
• Aggregate key metrics such as spend, risk, and contract status
• Automatically generate and distribute insights to stakeholders via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams

This not only saves hours of manual effort but also ensures that insights are always up-to-date and accessible across the organization.

2. Cross-Platform Data Orchestration

Tonkean’s platform excels at integrating with your existing tech stack. The Search Archlet Agent can pull in data from Archlet and combine it with information from other procurement tools such as Coupa, SAP Ariba, or even spreadsheets in Google Sheets. For example, when researching a supplier, the agent can:

• Retrieve historical performance data from Archlet
• Cross-reference compliance documentation stored in Box or Dropbox
• Highlight outstanding issues tracked in Jira

This orchestration ensures a holistic view of each entity, empowering teams to make informed decisions faster.

3. Streamlined Reporting & Knowledge Sharing

With Tonkean’s no-code process builder, operations teams can customize how research insights are delivered. For instance, the Search Archlet Agent can:

• Automatically compile weekly supplier insight reports and send them to relevant business groups
• Trigger alerts for anomalies or risk factors detected in Archlet data
• Populate dashboards for leadership using process optimization features

This not only improves transparency but also fosters a culture of data-driven decision-making.

4. Reducing Operational Overhead

By leveraging Tonkean’s AI-powered automation, repetitive research and reporting tasks are handled by the Search Archlet Agent, freeing up valuable time for procurement and operations professionals to focus on strategic initiatives. This aligns with best practices in procurement operations and supports agile, scalable business processes.
