Order.co launches Purchasing Copilot AI agents inside Workday Procurement

Order.co announced Purchasing Copilot, a Workday Marketplace app co-developed with Kainos that runs three AI agents — shipment tracking, supplier savings, and exception alerts — for Workday Procurement customers without leaving Workday.

FINANCE desk — procurement exceptions hide in inboxes; putting tracking, savings, and alerts agents inside Workday means buyers get the warning where they already buy.

Who built it, and where a buyer finds it. Purchasing Copilot was co-developed with Kainos. The release says Kainos’s experience building on the Workday platform accelerated development and distribution. The app is available now on the Workday Marketplace. A marketplace, here, is the app store Workday customers use to add software. That gloss is this desk’s. The release prints the name. It works with Order.co’s Workday Design Approved app, Bring All Purchasing into Workday, so buyers can manage everything from item selection through order delivery without leaving Workday. Workday Design Approved is the release’s badge for that earlier app. Available now is the release’s tense. These lines are the release’s. This desk did not install the app.

The three agents, and only those three. Purchasing Copilot acts through three AI agents that handle work procurement teams currently do by hand, or miss. The Shipment Tracking Agent monitors orders across suppliers, carriers, and locations, so a team knows where things are and when they will arrive. The Savings Agent looks at purchasing activity, compares prices across suppliers, and surfaces chances to pay less. The Alerts Agent tells the right people the moment an order exception, a delivery failure, or a pickup update happens. An exception, here, is an order that is not going as planned. A delivery failure is a shipment that did not arrive. A pickup update is a change to when someone collects the goods. Those three glosses are this desk’s. The three names and the three jobs are the release’s. This desk did not watch an alert fire.

The chief executive, as a quote, not as a study. Zach Garippa, CEO of Order.co, said you would think the hardest part of procurement is over once an order is placed. It is not. He said knowing where your orders are, where you are overpaying, and where something is about to go wrong is often even harder. He said Purchasing Copilot solves that automatically, inside the system the teams already use, so nothing falls through the cracks. Those are his sentences on the release. A quote is not a measured saving. This desk did not interview him.

What the about box claims, and whose numbers they are. Order.co says it is the smartest way for businesses to buy and pay, without sacrificing compliance or control. Smartest is the box’s word. The platform uses AI to centralize purchasing and order management directly in Workday, so finance and operations teams get real-time visibility into every dollar spent, and governance built into every transaction. With Order.co, the box says, customers see a 2–5% reduction in supplier costs, 30% labor savings across procurement, and a 50% decrease in maverick spend. Maverick spend, in plain words, is buying outside the approved channels. That gloss is this desk’s. The release prints the phrase and does not define it. 2–5% is a small slice of the supplier bill. 30% is about a third of the labor. 50% is half. Those translations are this desk’s. The percentages are the about box’s. They are company claims. They are not an independent audit. The page does not name the customers, the period, or the baseline. Founded in 2016. Headquartered in New York City. The box says Order.co has raised $70M from investors including Stage 2 Capital, Rally Ventures, and 645 Ventures. Including means those three are examples, not a full list. $70M is seventy million dollars, as the box prints it. The site is www.order.co. These lines are the about box.

The two links, and the tags that are not a second announcement. A related-links block points at www.order.co/workday-procurement-integration and at a Workday Marketplace listing, marketplace.workday.com/en-US/apps/868978/purchasing-agents---purchasing-intelligence-in-workday. This desk did not open those pages. They are not a second set of numbers. The page’s tags include AI in procurement, Built on Workday, Built on Workday Partner, Workday Select Partner, AI agents, ERP integrations, and procurement. ERP, enterprise resource planning, is the system of record for finance and operations. That gloss is this desk’s. The page prints the letters only as a tag. Workday Select Partner and Built on Workday Partner are tags. The body sentence is Workday Innovation Partner. Do not collapse a tag into the lede. A summary line on the page says Purchasing Copilot brings AI agents into Workday to track shipments, surface supplier savings, and flag order exceptions automatically. The media line names Allison Reich, Senior Manager of Brand, Content & Enablement. The page this desk read does not print her email.

What the card shows, and what it is not. The card is Order.co’s AI launch graphic. It reads Order.co AI, with a sparkle, and the line AI-Powered Procurement & Spend Control. Chips name jobs such as Order Fulfillment, Custom Catalog, Payment Processing, Troubleshooting, Approval Recommendations, and Tracking Digest. Other chips are cut off at the right edge. The still does not print a date. It does not show a Workday screen, and it does not show the three agents. The graphic is marketing for Order.co AI. It is not the Purchasing Copilot interface. This desk did not open a Workday Procurement session.

Plain English for the rest of the card. Workday Marketplace is the app store for Workday customers. Bring All Purchasing into Workday is the earlier Order.co app the release says is Workday Design Approved. The three new agents are shipment tracking, savings, and alerts. An exception is an order off plan. Maverick spend is buying outside approved channels. ERP is the system of record for finance and operations. The letters show up as a tag, not as a sentence in the lede. 08:07 ET is 8:07 a.m. Eastern and 12:07 p.m. UTC. 2–5%, 30%, and 50% are the about box’s customer claims. $70M is the box’s raise figure. 2016 is the founding year on that box. Stage 2 Capital, Rally Ventures, and 645 Ventures are the three investors the box names. Zach Garippa is the chief executive. Kainos is the co-developer. This filing is the 24 Sep announcement.

PRIMARY here: Order.co’s 24 Sep 2026 GlobeNewswire release, stamped September 24, 2026, 08:07 ET and datelined New York — Tier A PRIMARY, the company’s own announcement. The Purchasing Copilot launch, the Workday Innovation Partner line, the Kainos co-development sentence, the available-now Workday Marketplace line, the Bring All Purchasing into Workday sentence, the three agent names and jobs, the Garippa quote, the about-box claims of 2–5%, 30%, and 50%, the 2016 founding, New York, the $70M raise, the three named investors, and www.order.co are that release’s. The words on the still are the graphic’s. NOT claimed: that this desk installed the app, opened the two related links, or watched an alert, that the percentages were independently audited, a named customer, a period, a baseline, a full investor list, an email for Allison Reich, that a tag makes Order.co a Workday Select Partner beyond the tag itself, that the card is a Workday screen, a stock tip, or investment advice. Distinct from the already-filed feedzai-farol, dun-bradstreet-db-ai, place-maxwell-ai-mortgage, and public-ai-prediction-markets.
