The Institute for Supply Management recognizes ORO for delivering agentic procurement that executes with the governance Fortune 500 companies demand

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ORO Labs, the leading procurement orchestration platform for global enterprises, has been named a winner of the Procurement Solution Provider Impact category at the 2026 Supply Chain Trailblazer Awards by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The award recognizes organizations setting a new standard for how procurement and supply chain teams operate and deliver measurable business value.

ORO was selected for its work in helping enterprises bring greater accountability to procurement as they deploy agentic AI at scale and build the operational infrastructure to support it. The company’s procurement orchestration platform goes beyond surfacing recommendations, executing complex cross-functional workflows across intake, approvals, sourcing, supplier management, and compliance within governed, auditable pathways that give procurement teams the visibility to move faster without sacrificing rigor.

“Enterprises aren’t experimenting with AI anymore, they’re under pressure to put it to work at scale,” said Sudhir Bhojwani, Co-Founder and CEO of ORO Labs. “We work with leading enterprise teams to deploy agentic AI within a structured procurement model so they can move fast without giving up oversight, and this recognition from ISM reflects what our customers are achieving as they make that shift.”

At the center of ORO’s approach to governed agentic procurement is its AI Agent Builder, which allows procurement teams to deploy autonomous agents without writing code. Agents operate within permission-based pathways connected directly to ERPs, contract databases, supplier risk systems, and approval workflows, with built-in escalation logic that routes decisions to humans when confidence falls below defined thresholds. Many of the top enterprises in the world rely on ORO to orchestrate procurement workflows, and with the AI Agent Builder, customers have reported up to 80% shorter onboarding cycles, 75% fewer manual reviews, and greater process consistency across global operations.

The Supply Chain Trailblazer Award adds to a broader wave of honors for ORO’s leadership in 2026. Lalitha Rajagopalan, Co-Founder and Head of Strategy & GTM at ORO Labs, was named to the Inc. 2026 Female Founders 500 list, honoring the most dynamic female business leaders in the United States who are building enduring companies. ORO’s Sabih Rozales was also named a “Pros to Know” honoree by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, recognizing supply chain leaders who have been turning disruptions into opportunities. Together, these individual recognitions reflect the company’s continued investment in leadership and domain expertise as it scales globally, following its $100M Series C funding announced in March 2026.

New suite transforms proprietary datasets on AI, global operations, and enterprise investment into actionable intelligence for business leaders

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HFS Research, a leading global research and advisory firm, today announced the upcoming launch of its HFS Data Intelligence Suite, a new set of proprietary intelligence assets designed to help enterprise leaders move beyond fragmented insights and make decisions grounded in real-world data. The suite will be formally launched on May 5, 2026.

As enterprises face increasing pressure to make faster, higher-stakes decisions, many continue to rely on incomplete or inconsistent data, often spread across internal sources, vendor narratives, and static research. While access to information has increased, confidence in that information has not kept pace.

The HFS Data Intelligence Suite addresses this gap by bringing together HFS’s proprietary datasets into a unified, accessible platform that reflects what is actually happening across enterprise technology and operations.

The suite includes:

A library of more than 1,800 real-world AI deployments, enabling leaders to identify what is delivering measurable outcomes across industries and functionsIntelligence on over 1,500 Global Capability Centers (GCCs), providing visibility into how enterprises are structuring and evolving their global operationsThe Enterprise Mandate Index, built on more than 500,000 data points, offering a data-driven view of enterprise priorities and investment trendsThe HFS / HEX Benchmark Suite, delivering independent benchmarks for pricing and performance across services and technology engagements

Together, these assets provide enterprise leaders with a clearer, more comprehensive view of market activity, supporting decisions across AI investment, global operating models, sourcing strategy, and commercial performance.

According to Ashish Chaturvedi, Executive Research Leader at HFS Research and lead for the initiative, “Enterprises are not lacking in data, they’re lacking in usable, connected intelligence. With the Data Intelligence Suite, we are bringing together our proprietary datasets in a way that allows leaders to move beyond isolated insights and see the full picture. This is about enabling faster, more confident decision-making based on what is actually happening in the market.”

The launch of the Data Intelligence Suite reflects a broader evolution in the HFS model—from delivering research and analysis to providing structured, interactive intelligence that can be directly applied to enterprise decisions.

“The analyst model is being overtaken by a simple reality: if your insights aren’t grounded in real data, they won’t survive AI scrutiny,” said Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst at HFS Research. “This is our move to put proprietary intelligence at the core of how HFS delivers value. The future isn’t more reports, it’s decision-grade intelligence leaders can actually act on.”

Saurabh Gupta, President at HFS Research, added, “The traditional analyst business model is under pressure. Seventy to eighty percent of what analysts produce can now be found through AI tools. The Data Intelligence Suite represents the other twenty percent: proprietary, structured, verified data that enterprises cannot get anywhere else.”

The HFS Data Intelligence Suite will formally launch on May 5, 2026, with demonstrations and previews already being offered to select enterprise leaders and early access provided to a subset of clients. The suite will be available to subscribers, with premium tiers and advisory add-ons for deeper engagement.

HFS Research is a leading global research and advisory firm helping Fortune 500 companies navigate IT and business transformation. With a focus on bold insights and practical strategies, HFS empowers enterprises to make confident decisions through deep research, demand-side data, and direct engagement with industry leaders.
