Success stories
What our customers say about us

“The great thing about Keelvar is that it's simple and complex at the same time… It makes processes that are complex, simple, so you can easily follow them. All our team members are trained and are at least running one tender in Keelvar. And we added the packaging category to the portfolio.”

Radu Panciuc, Contracts & Innovation Manager, Samsung

“We've been using Keelvar since 2019 and currently have three different bots for three different categories. They are highly utilized with very happy users. There are two major things we look for and get with Keelvar. The first is usability and the ease of use for our users to initiate sourcing events. The second is to report, capture and track the data that comes out afterwards.”

Swaroopa Sahu, Senior Digitalization Specialist - Siemens

“Keelvar makes processes that are complex, simple, so you can easily follow them, and you can easily go through the checkpoints, so you’re sure you’re not going to make a mistake. It’s like having a second pair of eyes checking everything you’re doing, but in a smart way that unlocks more value for strategic events.”

Radu Panciuc, Contracts & Innovation Manager - Samsung
