San Fancisci-based ORO Labs, today became the latest procurement software developer to unveil new agentic AI capabilities as part of its product suite. ORO makes enterprise-grade intake management and procurement orchestration solutions. The company says that the new capabilities will give procurement teams using its platform “more control over how and where they apply automation.”
The no-code agent builder
The launch introduces a no-code AI Agent Builder that allows teams to design and deploy their own agents. Building on their existing portfolio, ORO has also released a new tranche of pre-built AI agents. These tools, the company says, will dramatically speed up compliance processes and improve risk detection.
“At ORO, we believe the future of procurement isn’t just about adding AI — it’s about orchestrating a symphony of human and machine intelligence,” said Sudhir Bhojwani, Co-Founder and CEO of ORO Labs. “While others are just starting to explore AI agents, we’re delivering a comprehensive, production-ready solution that securely connects data, systems, human decision-makers, and AI agents to unlock unprecedented levels of automation and collaboration.”
ORO adds that the latest tranche of AI agents is purpose-built to handle time-consuming risk and compliance tasks. These, they explain, will include: risk reviews, fraud detection, global tax compliance, sustainability compliance, anti-bribery compliance, and legal reviews. ORO has also introduced a new intake management agent that recommends opportunities for autonomous negotiation. These capabilities build on ORO’s existing portfolio of agents for intake management, supplier maintenance, and knowledge retrieval. The new additions expand on the platform’s ability to support the entire source-to-pay process from end to end.

ORO’s new no-code AI Agent builder allows procurement departments to create and customise agents for any use case. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, procurement leaders can tailor automation to the way their teams actually work. This, ORO argues, will help procurement move faster without adding complexity or giving up control.
Capabilities
Unlike other solutions that focus on basic AI assistants or isolated use cases, according to ORO, its new Agentic AI capabilities are fully embedded into the ORO platform, enabling enterprises to:
- Orchestrate Autonomous Workflows. AI agents can now independently manage complex procurement tasks, including supplier onboarding and risk triage to fraud detection and compliance monitoring, dramatically reducing reliance on shared services and BPO teams.
- Access Proprietary Enterprise Data Securely. ORO uniquely enables AI agents to securely access critical internal data — including ERP, Source-to-Pay, CLM, risk management, and HR systems — ensuring decisions are informed, trustworthy, and auditable without compromising data security.
- Collaborate Across Agents and Humans: ORO facilitates seamless collaboration between AI agents and human experts. AI agents autonomously escalate complex decisions and provide rich, context-aware insights, empowering faster, more confident decisions.
- Deliver Transparency and Control. With advanced escalation management and full auditability, organisations maintain control over AI decision-making processes. This helps to ensure compliance and accountability across all procurement activities.
