Keelvar is a sourcing platform for large enterprises with complex supply chains, combining sourcing optimization and autonomous sourcing. Its three products—Sourcing Optimizer, Autonomous Sourcing, and Rate Manager—are orchestrated by Kai. Sourcing Optimizer evaluates bid data and models award scenarios using factors such as cost, risk, supply constraints, and strategic preferences. Autonomous Sourcing automates high-volume, repeatable RfX workflows from intake through award. Listed tools include an AI formula and scenario builder, bid-sheet configuration, supplier recommendations, real-time feedback, automated awards, and multi-round bidding. Keelvar connects with ERP, TMS, and procurement platforms including SAP Ariba and Coupa; its SAP Ariba Connector syncs supplier data and sends bid, allocation, and event-state information to Ariba. The service is a multi-tenant SaaS web application for modern browsers, with a documented API. Access controls include TOTP multi-factor authentication, SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect SSO, and role-based permissions. Keelvar states its sourcing products hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and that it is certified to ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy management. Pricing is on request.
