While most procurement platforms digitize existing purchasing and payment workflows, Order.co is rethinking them entirely. Founded in 2016, the company set out to bring the speed and simplicity of B2C eCommerce to the complex world of B2B purchasing, and it’s working.

Backed by $70 million in funding and trusted by companies like CorePower Yoga, Dolce & Gabbana, and AvantStay, Order.co has become a leader in procurement AI. Its platform doesn’t just process transactions— it understands them, automates them, and uses data to drive smarter decisions at scale.

Fixing what legacy tools missed

The idea for Order.co emerged from a familiar frustration: companies were stuck stitching together POs, spreadsheets, corporate cards, and payment systems, none of which were built to work together.

“We saw teams doing heroic amounts of manual work just to manage basic purchasing,” says CEO and Co-Founder Zachary Garippa.

Instead of layering more software on top of broken workflows, Garippa and Co-Founder Tom Jaklitsch built an end-to-end AI platform that connects the entire procurement process, from requisitions and approvals to payments and reconciliation.

Consumer simplicity meets enterprise scale

One of Order.co’s core innovations is a unified Ecommerce buying experience that works across all vendors, whether they accept POs, support online ordering, or operate offline altogether.

Teams shop from a centralized and customized catalog, submit orders for approval according to policy, and let the platform handle the rest. Once approved, Order.co AI automatically routes and places the order with each vendor. For vendors that accept POs, the platform generates and sends compliant purchase orders. But for vendors that support Ecommerce checkouts, Order.co AI goes a step further—logging in, placing the order on the customer’s behalf, and ensuring payment and delivery details are handled. Not only does this functionality help businesses save time, but it also unlocks access to a far wider range of suppliers than traditional procurement systems.

The result is true procurement f lexibility: one cart, any vendor, and a fully automated backend that eliminates manual work.

Procurement that sees around corners

Order.co doesn’t just automate tasks, it anticipates what’s next. By analyzing historical purchasing trends, supplier performance, and shifting market dynamics like pricing volatility and tariff changes, the platform makes smarter, faster sourcing decisions.

If price is the priority when selecting a vendor, Order.co AI parses thousands of price points across the supply base to identify the most cost-effective option, delivering average hard-dollar savings of 5%, and up to 10% in categories like maintenance and office supplies.

As global trade grows more complex, the platform evolves with it. Its models now factor in regulatory risks and supply chain disruptions, helping businesses diversify vendors, avoid bottlenecks, and reroute orders proactively.

This isn’t just automation, it’s intelligent and adaptive procurement that is designed to stay ahead of what’s coming.

Guardrails for growth

As businesses expand teams or open new locations, ensuring compliance across departments becomes increasingly difficult.

One of the most common challenges occurs when teams default to familiar Ecommerce marketplaces for speed and convenience. While accessible, these purchases often fall outside procurement standards and brand guidelines. That was the case at Pacaso, a technology-enabled marketplace that modernizes real estate co-ownership. “Everyone is used to Amazon Storefront operations,” said Maria Jimenez, Sourcing Manager at Pacaso, “but a lot of times it’s not brand standard. Part of us bringing on Order.co is to guardrail the type of products that our teams buy to make sure that we’re on brand.”

Additionally, unlike traditional ERPs that require manual vendor setup and static product lists, Order.co builds a dynamic, all-in-one catalog that includes any product from any vendor a business uses. The catalog updates automatically and shows teams only the pre-approved, on-brand items they’re allowed to purchase. It also f lags fulfillment issues early and recommends smarter alternatives based on cost, availability, and delivery speed, which frees up time for teams to focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.

This combination of automation and intelligence allows businesses to scale faster with less friction and more confidence. Companies like Faherty Brand use curated product lists to open new stores in minutes instead of days. And, as Catherine Zapoll, Operations & Compliance Manager at NY Kids Club, put it: “Order.co gives us the ability to scale the business instead of having to focus on procurement.”

What’s next for Order.co AI

As Order.co continues to expand its footprint, the company is doubling down on intelligent automation. Its upcoming Vendor Hub, where customers can track vendor level spend and savings, monitor performance metrics like delivery reliability and return policies, and benchmark their suppliers against industry leaders. This new interface will also provide customers with tailored insight into possible vendor and product optimizations, helping organizations make better purchasing decisions based on cost, speed, and supplier quality.

Meanwhile, a reimagined AI powered checkout will surface in-cart recommendations for alternative products when items are delayed or overpriced, ensuring better decisions happen in real time.

The team behind the transformation

What sets Order.co apart isn’t just technology, but its team. Behind the platform is a 120+ person organization united by a culture of urgency, ownership, and deep customer focus. Garippa puts it simply, “The best ideas come from collisions between customer pain, data, and people who care deeply about fixing things.”

As Garippa says, “We’ve built a culture that rewards ownership. Innovation doesn’t come from chasing trends—it comes from removing friction for our users.”

This approach has propelled Order. co from a bold idea into an award winning platform, recognized by leading industry authorities, including CIOReview (“Procurement Solution of the Year”) and The Financial Technology Report (“Top 100 Financial Technology Companies”), among other honors.

Reengineering how businesses buy isn’t a one-time product launch. It’s a continuous process of listening better, solving faster, and building smarter. And that’s exactly what Order.co was created to do.

“This isn’t just automation, it’s intelligent and adaptive procurement that is designed to stay ahead of what’s coming.”
