New Euna Procurement Capability Streamlines RFPs
ATLANTA & TORONTO — Euna Solutions, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based software for the public sector, announced the launch of Solicitation Advisor, powered by Euna AI, a new capability within Euna Procurement that helps public agencies review procurement solicitations before publication.
The company stated that the capability is embedded directly into the public sector workflow, and that the tool analyzes draft requests for proposals (RFPs). Euna’s Solicitation Advisor surfaces recommendations to reduce ambiguity, ensure required category specifications, and make it easier for suppliers to respond correctly.
Public agencies often develop highly detailed solicitations across a wide range of categories without deep subject matter expertise in each. This challenge contributes to a time-consuming procurement process and lower supplier response rates. While many AI tools in procurement focus on generating draft language, Solicitation Advisor is designed to review and strengthen what teams have already prepared before it reaches the market.
According to Mykola Konrad, chief product officer at Euna Solutions, “What we’re launching today reflects a broader shift in how AI can support public procurement,” he said.
“Until now, much of the focus has been on using AI to generate drafts faster. At Euna, we see an additional value for AI as helping procurement teams improve solicitation quality before release by bringing intelligent review, guidance, and category-aware insight into their workflow.”

Ramp Launches Fleet of AI Agents Across Its Procurement Platform
NEW YORK — Ramp, a leading financial operations platform, launched a fleet of AI agents that work together to run the buying process, triaging employee requests, sourcing vendors, reviewing contract terms, and handling compliance checks. The launch marks a significant expansion of Ramp’s procurement solution as the company continues to extend from managing spend to running the entire purchasing process — from source to payment.
The company stated that Ramp’s AI agents are a force multiplier for every company: running entire sourcing events, identifying compliance risks, and identifying savings opportunities. It runs on pricing data from millions of Ramp transactions, so a 200-person company walks into a negotiation with the same benchmark data a Fortune 500 would.
According to Geoff Charles, chief product officer at Ramp, “The tools companies use to buy haven’t kept pace with the speed or sophistication of what they’re buying,” he said.
“We built a purchasing platform where AI agents do the work. Finance teams can hire Ramp as an extension of their team to run purchasing end-to-end.”
Ramp lists several key benefits, including:
- Natural Language Intake
- Advanced Workflow Builder
- Agent-Run Due Diligence
- Renewal and Contract Intelligence
- Zero-Touch Sourcing (Early Access)
- Full procurement reporting suite
“This is the first step toward a fully autonomous back office,” said Charles. “Every company deserves procurement-grade rigor. Now they can have it — whether they have a procurement team or not.”

Green Cabbage Introduces AI Spend Cube
PITTSBURGH — Green Cabbage Inc., a global leader in procurement intelligence, announced the launch of its AI Spend Cube, a new addition to its secure OneWorkspace platform. This cube joins the company’s existing procurement intelligence for Technology, Third-Party Labor, Marketing, and Travel & Expense, and represents a direct response to the rising demand from enterprises seeking clarity and control in the rapidly evolving AI market.
The company stated that the AI Spend Cube leverages data from 2,600+ clients globally, providing visibility into AI procurement trends, pricing language, and supplier practices. Green Cabbage has tracked deals across major providers, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google’s Gemini, etc., and analyzed thousands of contracts, allowing organizations to use the AI Spend Cube to identify cost drivers, optimize terms, and mitigate risk, even as suppliers experiment with consumption-based and hybrid pricing models.
According to Michael van Keulen, chief client officer at Green Cabbage, “AI is now a board topic, and clients are moving quickly to adopt AI, but the market around pricing, licensing, and supplier terms is still incredibly immature,” he said.
“What we’re seeing every day is that companies can purchase the exact same AI capabilities and end up with completely different pricing models and levels of contract terms, conditions, and risk. The AI Spend Cube gives procurement leaders real-time market visibility so they can negotiate from a position of knowledge, strength, move quickly, and adopt AI strategically rather than recklessly.”
