Deloitte has launched Zora AI, an advanced agentic AI platform designed to automate decision-making and supercharge productivity across core business operations, starting with procurement, supply chain, and finance.
Built on Nvidia’s powerful AI technology, Zora AI functions as a digital collaborator, working alongside human teams to streamline complex workflows. From automating supplier selection to optimizing financial forecasts, Zora AI is positioned to redefine how enterprises manage repetitive tasks and focus on higher-value strategy.
“AI agents turn data into action,” said Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s founder and CEO. “With Zora AI agents built on Nvidia AI, Deloitte clients can put intelligence to work — helping professionals find insights, make decisions, and get things done.”
In procurement, manual processes like contract reviews, supplier onboarding, and purchase order handling often slow down operations. Zora AI steps in to tackle these repetitive tasks — freeing procurement teams to focus on strategy, supplier relationships, and value creation.
The platform’s intelligent agents conduct real-time supplier evaluations, assessing factors like delivery performance, ESG compliance, and overall reliability. By automating compliance checks and document verification, Zora AI helps teams vet suppliers faster and reduce risk.
Procurement cycles known for inefficiencies, such as negotiations and contract reviews, also benefit from AI automation. Zora AI identifies risks in contracts, flags them for review, and helps accelerate better outcomes with fewer delays.
Another game-changing feature is Zora AI’s ability to connect procurement and supply chain operations. It aligns purchasing with real-time inventory needs, reducing shortages and eliminating costly overordering. If existing suppliers fail to deliver, the platform surfaces dynamic sourcing alternatives in real time.
On the cost front, Zora AI analyses supplier pricing to uncover the most competitive terms. Its predictive models estimate future costs, allowing companies to plan smarter and drive savings. By spotting inefficient spending patterns, Zora AI recommends better alternatives, maximizing value across the procurement cycle.
Expanding AI Automation to Finance and Beyond
Zora AI doesn’t stop at procurement. Deloitte is rolling out the platform across other business functions, including finance, sales, marketing, customer service, and human capital.
Zora AI for Finance is designed to transform financial operations with real-time insights and seamless integration into enterprise systems. From automating expense management to financial statement analysis and forecasting, the platform enhances decision-making while speeding up workflows.
One standout capability is scenario modelling — enabling finance teams to analyse market trends and plan for multiple outcomes without wasting hours on manual data crunching.
Deloitte has partnered with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to offer Zora AI for Finance on HPE Private Cloud AI infrastructure. The move aims to help clients automate financial workflows while gaining instant access to real-time performance data.
“We’re excited to partner with Deloitte to deploy Zora AI for Finance,” said Marie Myers, EVP and CFO at HPE. “It’s transforming how we operate, giving our executives real-time insights into the data that matters most.”
Powering Agile, Intelligent Procurement Strategies
At its core, Zora AI acts as an intelligent partner — using industry-specific knowledge and real-time data analysis to drive smarter procurement decisions.
The platform’s AI agents assist in:
- Contract negotiation
- Supplier comparisons
- Cost forecasting
- Category management
- Sourcing and guided buying
- Supplier risk assessments
By collaborating with procurement teams, Zora AI helps develop agile strategies that adapt to supply chain disruptions and shifting market demands. The result? Increased efficiency, reduced risk, and more resilient procurement planning.
For organizations looking to modernize, Zora AI seamlessly integrates with existing platforms and applies advanced AI reasoning models to optimize operations.
Deloitte’s CEO Jason Girzadas sees Zora AI as a leap toward the future of business — where autonomous AI agents work side by side with humans to redefine business processes.
“We’re entering the autonomous enterprise era,” Girzadas said. “With Zora AI, we’re helping clients unlock new sources of business value, growth, and innovation — transforming how work gets done.”
As companies race to embed AI across their operations, Zora AI positions Deloitte and its clients at the forefront of this transformation — delivering agility, intelligence, and measurable impact where it matters most.
