What is Autonomous Sourcing

Keelvar’s Autonomous Sourcing is a platform that leverages the power of Sourcing Optimizer and combines it with the speed, efficiency, and automation of Sourcing Bots to simplify and streamline your sourcing operations.

Autonomous Sourcing enables your organization to quickly launch sourcing events for new rates when existing rates are unavailable or unsuitable.  While the majority of the sourcing workload is performed by the Sourcing Bot, user action and decision-making are required by you or your team at key stages of the process. When an action is required, the relevant users are automatically notified by email.
