“As one of the early adopters of this AI Ocean Sourcing Solution with Keelvar, I can honestly say it’s been groundbreaking for us in the Coca-Cola System. We now have a structured digital solution to manage all our “Off Tender” requests, removing 100s of emails from our inboxes on a weekly basis.”
“We now have standard elements that can be followed for road transportation events, making it much more efficient for the team, and for leadership.”
“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.”
