How a Defense Contractor Reduced Sourcing Time by 40% with Seekral

Client: Major Defense Prime Contractor (Confidential)•Industry: Aerospace & Defense

1The Challenge

A tier-1 defense contractor needed to rapidly identify and vet dual-use technology suppliers for critical avionics systems. Traditional procurement methods required 12-16 weeks of manual research, RFI processing, and supplier qualification, causing project delays and increased costs.

2The Solution

The contractor deployed Seekral's SmartMatch AI and Innovation Radar to scan 10,000+ global suppliers in real-time. Using AI-powered filtering for ITAR compliance, technical specifications, and security clearances, they received 15 pre-qualified supplier matches within 48 hours.
