We’re excited to announce that Omnea has been recognized in the Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in Sourcing and Procurement Technology, 2025. In their analysis, Gartner notes “many procurement organizations struggle to realize the full potential of AI due to inconsistent, incomplete or poor-quality data.1”
For that reason, we feel our inclusion cements our position as a truly AI-native platform at the forefront of procurement transformation. According to Gartner, Cool Vendors are “innovative, emerging players who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI technology.1”
Why we feel this matters: digital transformation and AI are now front‑of‑mind for procurement leaders
Gartner states that, “for procurement organizations determined to unlock the full potential of digital transformation, elevating AI exploration into a top strategic imperative is nothing short of essential.1”
Their research shows “Seventy-eight percent of respondents to a recent Gartner survey cited digital transformation as one of the primary goals for procurement organizations.1 ”Additionally, the “Chief procurement officers (CPOs) participating in Gartner’s 2024 CPO survey acknowledge the critical importance of this strategic imperative, placing significant emphasis on investing in AI and generative AI technologies as a top priority for the future.1” Respondents top three priorities were:
- Invest in data and analytics technologies (74%)
- Invest in AI and generative AI technologies (68%)
- Upgrade or optimize use of current technologies (60%)

Omnea was designed in a post‑GPT world with agentic AI embedded across the platform to make intake effortless, orchestrate complex workflows, and surface the right insight at the right moment. Our three agentic AI pillars—Assist, Command, and Analyze—power conversational intake, RFx generation from a prompt, tailored stakeholder summaries, automatic risk tiering, and more. Today, 95% of users engage Omnea AI, contributing to 100k+ hours saved and 2.5k+ datapoints ingested daily across customers.
We give customers granular control over how AI learns from their environment: admins can decide which fields train models, toggle features by team, and audit usage. Security is table‑stakes—SOC 2 Type 2, regular third‑party penetration testing, and encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+). But Omnea does more than that, creating a single source of truth for supplier data that’s accurate and AI-friendly.
Global enterprises across media, financial services, professional services, retail and cybersecurity including Adecco Group, Albertsons, Entrust, Spotify, and Proofpoint trust Omnea as the backbone of their procurement functions. In a case study, Reach plc. reported unifying procurement and third‑party risk in one platform—autocapturing 70% of supplier risks with Omnea AI, halving risk‑review time, reducing their long tail of suppliers by ~15%, and consolidating four tools into one (saving >£100k annually on procurement software costs alone). These are the kinds of measurable results we aim to deliver everywhere we deploy.
