Aravo

Overview

Aravo, founded in 2000, delivers Software as a Service (SaaS) supplier management, risk management, and sustainability management solutions to Fortune 500 and small and medium sized businesses around the world.

All of Aravo's solutions leverage the Supplier Information Management (SIM) platform, which acts as the single source, or repository, of supplier information by centralizing and integrating data from multiple internal or external sources and across disparate IT systems. Managers use three on-demand, web-based modules to collaborate with suppliers and do their work: supply, sustain, and risk. And, as a result, costs are reduced by automating supplier management, the supplier network becomes more efficient and cost-effective, and overall risk is reduced.

Value Proposition

According to AMR Research "Aravo's software allows its customers to reduce the average cost per supplier down from a current average of $720 annually...to less than $200 annually. If you multiply that number times the thousands or hundreds of thousands of suppliers you have, you quickly can see the potential for huge savings."
