> 59 companies sell AI to procurement, purchasing and sourcing teams. This map shows what each one sells across the five stages of procurement, and 119 dated events since May 2025: 76 product launches, 36 of them agents that do multi-step work or run on their own. Each event links to its source.

## What we're seeing

Five things the data shows, from 59 companies and 76 AI launches between May 2025 and early November 2026. Every claim links to its source.

### Nearly half of procurement's AI launches are agents

Of the 76 AI launches, 36 (47%) are agents or always-on AI, a higher share than on our hiring, workforce planning, compensation or supply chain planning maps. 25 companies have shipped at least one. 6 of the 11 source-to-pay suites have shipped one, and so have 5 of the 9 intake companies. Sourcing tools trail at 4 of 14, and supplier tools at 4 of 12. Zip launched [more than 50 agents](https://www.silicon.co.uk/press-release/zip-unveils-suite-of-50-ai-agents-to-automate-high-impact-tasks-across-finance-legal-procurement-it-and-security) in June 2025. IT Brief reports that [more than 400 custom agents](https://itbrief.co.uk/story/coupa-launches-largest-ai-release-for-procurement-teams) have been built in Coupa's Agent Studio. Most agent launches name what a person still does. In Ramp's launch, a person [picks the winning vendor](https://ramp.com/blog/procurement-ai-agents), approves requests and decides renewals. Zip's agents run budget checks and invoice review before anything reaches an approver, and [approvers sign off](https://zip.com/blog/introducing-ai-automation-p2p). Levelpath's [Ranger](https://techintelpro.com/news/ai/enterprise-ai/levelpath-launches-ranger-for-autonomous-procurement) has five autonomous workflows, from sourcing to invoice matching and approval, and a person makes the final sourcing award.

### Sourcing agents now run bid events up to the award

Several vendors sell agents that run a sourcing event and leave the award to a person. Keelvar's [Kai](https://cpostrategy.media/blog/2025/11/12/keelvar-launches-kai-to-power-new-era-of-autonomous-sourcing/) turns a plain-language request into sourcing actions, and its agents build bid sheets, set event parameters and launch the event. Globality's [Glo 2.0](https://martechseries.com/sales-marketing/marketing-automation/globality-launches-glo-2-0-the-first-fully-autonomous-sourcing-platform/) writes the RFx, finds and invites suppliers, negotiates and recommends an award, and a person approves the final award. It covers direct, indirect and tail spend. 19 companies on the map support direct materials, the parts and raw materials that go into a product, and many of them cover indirect spend too. Some sourcing agents aim at tail spend, the many small purchases outside the main contracts. Oracle's [Autonomous Sourcing Agent](https://siliconangle.com/?p=730445) automates competitive bidding for low-dollar, high-volume purchases. Archlet [announced](https://archlet.io/blog/introducing-autonomous-sourcing-ai-native-automation-for-tactical-and-tail-spend) an autonomous sourcing product for tactical and tail spend in July 2026. Zycus ties its Gartner Leader placement to [agentic AI for tail spend](https://www.zycus.com/press-releases/zycus-named-a-leader-in-the-2026-gartner-magic-quadrant-for-source-to-pay-suites). Keelvar is named for autonomous sourcing in Gartner's [2026 market guide](https://www.keelvar.com/newsroom/keelvar-named-in-the-2026-gartner-market-guide-for-sourcing-applications-for-advanced-sourcing-optimization-and-autonomous-sourcing) for sourcing applications. Pactum raised a [$54 million Series C](https://pactum.com/blog/news-pactum-secures-54-million-in-series-c-funding-to-scale-agentic-ai-in-procurement) in June 2025 and says the spend its agents handle rose 489%.

### Intake startups raised large rounds as Coupa bought AI companies

We logged 14 funding rounds in the window. ORO Labs raised a [$100 million Series C](https://orolabs.ai/newsroom/oro-series-c-announcement), Levelpath a [$55 million Series B](https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/30/next-gen-procurement-platform-levelpath-nabs-55m), Omnea a [$50 million Series B](https://startupsmagazine.co.uk/article-omnea-raises-50m-make-procurement-every-cfos-competitive-advantage), and Lio a [$30 million Series A](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/05/lio-ai-series-a-a16z-30m-raise-automate-enterprise-procurement/) led by Andreessen Horowitz. Coupa [agreed to buy Scoutbee](https://techintelpro.com/news/ai/enterprise-ai/coupa-acquires-scoutbee-for-ai-supplier-intelligence), a supplier discovery company, in October 2025, and a law firm [reported the sale completed](https://www.osborneclarke.com/news/osborne-clarke-advises-shareholders-scoutbee-sale-coupa) in November. In May 2026 Coupa bought [Rossum](https://rossum.ai/company/newsroom/press-release-coupa-acquires-rossum/) for document processing and [Tonkean](https://www.thomabravo.com/press-releases/coupa-acquires-tonkean-to-accelerate-agentic-intake-and-orchestration-for-global-trade) for intake and orchestration. Coupa calls Tonkean its fourth strategic acquisition, after Cirtuo, Scoutbee and Rossum. Docusign announced on 3 November 2026 that it is acquiring [Suplari](https://www.docusign.com/company/news-center/docusign-acquires-suplari-to-accelerate-aipowered-contract-management-for-procurement), an AI-native procurement intelligence company, to bring Suplari's procurement agents into Docusign's agreement platform.

### Supplier risk tools added agents that suggest a response

13 companies shipped supplier risk AI in the window. Several of these launches are agents that find a problem and suggest what to do. Resilinc launched [agents](https://salestechstar.com/predictive-ai-artificial-intelligence/resilinc-launches-agentic-ai-platform-for-supply-chain-risk-and-compliance/) in May 2025 that detect disruptions, recommend responses and can act within governed limits. It also has agents for tariffs and for forced-labor compliance. Aravo's [Remediation Agents](https://aravo.com/press-releases/aravo-launches-aravo-ai-to-automate-third-party-risk-workflows/) suggest fixes, and its Decision Agents guide risk decisions. ProcessUnity launched [ten agents](https://processunity.com/resources/press-releases/processunity-launches-ai-agents-for-tprm/) for third-party risk, from intake and due diligence to monitoring and remediation. The US Army licensed [Exiger's AI software](https://cpostrategy.media/blog/2025/11/24/exiger-teams-up-with-both-us-army-and-palantir-to-enhance-operational-readiness/) to speed defense acquisition and supply chain risk visibility. In September 2026 Exiger [announced](https://finviz.com/news/390618/carlyle-insight-partners-and-jmi-equity-unveil-exigers-complete-ai-built-transformation) an AI-led re-platform of its software, with an agentic workforce that manages a company's network of parts, suppliers, regulators and customers.

### Software buying became its own agent market

Software purchases have their own vendors. 3 of the 6 software buying companies on the map shipped an agent. Vertice says its negotiation agent [Ana](https://www.vertice.one/blog/introducing-ana-the-ai-negotiation-agent-for-software-purchases) can run transactional purchases and renewals end to end and has run more than 4,000 negotiations. Approvals and signatures stay with people. Spendflo launched [Flo AI](https://www.spendflo.com/blog/introducing-flo-ai) in May 2026, with three agents for intake through purchase order, contracts, and invoice matching and payment. Tropic's [Purchase Prep](https://digitalitnews.com/?p=16433) agents rank software renewals, benchmark prices and review contracts. Vertice also bought [Vendr](https://www.aap.com.au/aapreleases/cision20260601ae71961/) to train its agents on Vendr's pricing data. Deel bought [Sastrify](https://cfotech.co.uk/story/deel-acquires-sastrify-to-boost-software-spend-control) and is folding its software renewals and license negotiation into Deel IT.

## Methodology and corrections

**Who is on the map.** A company earns a row if a buying team can license its AI to take purchase requests, run sourcing events and negotiations, place orders, manage and vet suppliers, or analyze spend. That includes source-to-pay suites, intake tools, sourcing and negotiation tools, supplier risk monitors, spend analytics and software-buying platforms. The map stops where the order is placed and the supplier is known. Companies that sell only accounts payable or payments are left off, and so are logistics, warehouses and production planning; the [supply chain planning map](/research/supply-chain-planning-software/) covers demand, supply and inventory plans. Procurement consultancies and buying services without software a customer can license are left off. A name in a roundup is not a tool: every row rests on the vendor’s own site, or on dated trade press where that site would not open for us, and the data marks those rows as reported. The map covers companies we found, not every company that exists. Corrections and additions are welcome.

**One category per company.** Each company sits in the category its own headline sells. Suites sell far more than one thing, so the five stage columns and the capability list carry the rest. A company owned by another keeps its own row while it still sells its own product, and names its owner, as Tonkean does under Coupa.

**What counts as an event.** A product launch, a funding round, an acquisition, a partnership, a rebrand, a shutdown, or published research, dated between the window’s first and last day. Every event links to a page we opened that prints its date, preferably the vendor’s own release, blog or changelog, otherwise the trade press. No date is inferred. A date marks the first time we saw a capability launch in the window, not the first time the company ever offered it. Some launches were announced before they shipped; those carry a status (announced, preview or beta).

**How autonomous a launch is.** We label each AI launch from the vendor’s own description of it. Assistive AI drafts, ranks or suggests when a person asks. An agent completes multi-step work on its own once a person sets it going, such as running a sourcing event or negotiating a renewal. Always-on AI runs without a prompt, such as watching suppliers for disruptions or scanning spend for savings. Vendors use the word agent loosely; we used it only when the vendor names a step the software completes without a person. Where the page says a company shipped an agent or always-on AI, a launch the vendor has only announced does not count. A launch in beta does.

**Built for direct materials.** One flag, set only from the vendor’s own pages: direct (built for the parts, materials and components a manufacturer buys, not only indirect spend such as services and software).

**How it was made.** Research agents worked one segment each from a written spec and returned structured rows. An editor merged them. A second pass re-opened the source of every event and the headline page of every company, fixed dates and claims that did not hold up, and dropped duplicates, launches with no AI in them, and companies that have shut down or been absorbed. Where a vendor’s own site would not open, we cite a dated copy of its release in the trade press or on a wire service; news aggregators do not count. Funding figures come only from the company’s own release or a named report. Nothing here is a ranking: the stage cells show what a company sells, not how well it sells it, and a launch count measures how much a company announces.
