ORO Labs
Procurement, connected through orchestration.
orolabs.ai
ORO Labs is an enterprise technology company specialising in AI-powered procurement orchestration. Its platform connects people, processes and existing enterprise systems to simplify purchasing workflows, supplier management and approvals.
Rather than replacing an organisation's existing procurement infrastructure, ORO acts as an orchestration layer that brings these systems together into a more connected experience.
The ORO Platform
AI-powered Intake
Understands employee requests and guides them towards the appropriate procurement process.
Supplier Management
Supports supplier onboarding, information management and qualification.
Workflow Orchestration
Coordinates complex processes, approvals and cross-functional collaboration.
AI & Agentic Workflows
Uses AI capabilities and configurable agents to support and automate procurement activities.
Industry and Customers
At a Glance
Challenge
Enterprise procurement workflows involve complex information, from supplier assessments and financial metrics to supporting records. Representing this information within configurable forms requires balancing flexibility for form authors with clarity for requesters.
Approach
Explore reusable information components and interaction patterns within ORO's AI Form Builder, focusing on data mapping, component configuration, information hierarchy and contextual interactions.
Aim
Develop a consistent and flexible approach to presenting AI-generated procurement information through configurable Summary Blocks, Table Sections and data visualizations.
Project Context
Understanding the product
ORO is an enterprise procurement orchestration platform that helps organizations manage purchasing workflows, supplier relationships and approvals.
The AI Form Builder enables organizations to create and configure forms for different procurement processes. Within this environment, AI-generated information needs to be presented in ways that are structured, adaptable and easy to interact with.
My Role
As an UX Design Intern
I worked on enhancing ORO's AI Form Builder, focusing on how complex procurement information is structured, configured and presented.
Key Contributions (till now)
Component Design
Explored and refined reusable Summary Blocks and Table Sections.
Interaction Design
Defined patterns for inline editing, column configuration, selection and component behaviour.
Information Architecture
Structured different data types into clear and consistent information hierarchies.
AI-assisted Design
Used AI-native workflows for interface exploration, rapid prototyping and design iteration.
Design Systems
Maintained consistency with ORO's existing UI patterns and component language.
The Challenge
Making complex information easier to structure and consume
Procurement forms often contain different types of information, each with its own presentation and interaction requirements. A financial metric, a supplier assessment and a collection of structured records cannot always follow the same visual or behavioural pattern. The challenge was to explore how these different information types could be represented within a unified Form Builder without compromising configurability or usability.
Central design question
How might we make complex procurement information easier to configure, understand and interact with within an AI-powered Form Builder?
The underlying challenges
Information complexity
Representing different data types without forcing them into a uniform presentation.
Configuration flexibility
Giving form authors control over data mapping, presentation and component behaviour.
Dual user requirements
Balancing the configuration needs of authors with the consumption needs of requesters.
Interaction consistency
Establishing predictable behaviours across components with different purposes.
Design Scope
Three interconnected areas of exploration
Summary Blocks: Structuring key information
Exploring modular components to present metrics, key facts, summaries, findings, sources and comparisons.
Reference only, dashboard design in grey by Rahul Rao on dribble. Not the actual work.
Table Sections: Managing structured records
Exploring flexible table layouts, data-type-specific cells, inline editing, column configuration and row interactions.
Reference only, SaaS dashboard component and builder interface by Luke Dalton on dribble. Not the actual work.
Data Visualisations: Exploring visual representations
Investigating how charts and visual comparisons could communicate procurement data within the form experience.

Understanding the Users
Two perspectives, one form experience
Design consideration
Configuration complexity should remain with the author, while the resulting form should feel intuitive to the requester.
Thank you, for your interest.
