What Artikos does

Artikos is a Chilean enterprise software company that operates a cloud-based Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) platform connecting large enterprises with their suppliers from quotation through payment. Founded in 1999 by Banco de Chile and BCI and acquired by the Cámara de Comercio de Santiago in December 2024, the platform integrates seven functional modules — supplier registration and evaluation, strategic sourcing (purchasing and bidding), contract management, electronic invoicing, intelligent invoice administration, purchase order integration, and a self-service supplier portal — into a single workflow. The company serves more than 250 large enterprise clients (mandantes), primarily in Chile's mining, financial services, healthcare, and retail sectors, and processes approximately $3 billion in invoices and 3+ billion documents per month with a claimed 99.99% uptime. Notable named customers include Antofagasta Minerals, Minera Los Pelambres, Minera Centinela, Minera Antucoya, Minera Zaldívar, and FCAB, and the platform holds ISO 27001:2022 certification for information security.

The technology stack is differentiated by AI-powered document processing: generative AI interprets any purchase order format — including PDFs, images, scanned documents, and photographs — without predefined templates, understanding visual layout and contextual field meaning before a validation engine checks totals, item sums, RUT existence, dates, and discount consistency. Anomaly detection capabilities flag duplicate invoices, documents without matching purchase orders, and improperly validated factoring rolls. The platform integrates with major ERP systems and with sister CCS subsidiaries RedNegocios (an 8,000+ supplier network), Ecert (electronic signatures), and Rindegastos (expense reporting with 150,000 users across 22 countries).

Artikos monetizes through three revenue streams: annual SaaS subscriptions priced per company size and modules selected, BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) services for procurement and bidding on a per-event basis, and transaction-based fees on processed electronic documents. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct enterprise engagement with custom demonstrations, ERP-tailored implementations, and personalized support, while suppliers access the platform through a self-service portal model. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
