akirolabs and Matchory Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Procurement

‍

Munich, April 29, 2025 – akirolabs, a leading ProcureTech company for strategic procurement solutions, and Matchory, a pioneer in AI-driven supplier discovery, are proud to announce their strategic partnership. Together, they aim to close the critical gap between category strategy development and supplier execution, delivering a seamless, connected experience for procurement teams worldwide.

‍

Today, procurement teams often define strategies in one platform and search for suppliers in a completely different, disconnected process — often manual and without maintaining the context of strategic goals. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, slower execution, and missed opportunities.

‍

Through this partnership, akirolabs and Matchory are enabling a truly integrated approach:

‍

• With akirolabs, procurement teams define what they need and why through AI-augmented category strategies.
• With Matchory, they immediately access a comprehensive, up-to-date supplier landscape to find the right suppliers that match their strategic objectives.

‍

"Together, we are transforming procurement from isolated planning and manual searching into a dynamic, connected workflow that bridges strategy and supplier execution," said Christoph Flöthmann, CPO & Co-Founder, akirolabs. "This partnership brings procurement one step closer to becoming a truly strategic business driver."

"Procurement teams need to move faster and smarter," said Aiko Wiegand, CEO & Co-Founder, Matchory. "By combining akirolabs' intelligent strategy platform with Matchory's global supplier discovery capabilities, we're creating a unique solution that saves time, increases alignment, and delivers greater value to the business."

‍

This collaboration allows procurement organizations to:

‍

• Design and execute strategies seamlessly within one connected process.
• Reduce manual supplier scouting efforts.
• Achieve faster time-to-value and better supplier matches aligned to strategic needs.
• Empower teams to act more strategically and focus on value creation.
