Overview

ProcurePro is on a mission to save 1 BILLION construction admin hours.

Modernising procurement, play-by-play

Mission
To save 1 BILLION construction admin hours.

Motivation
I’m driven by the relentless pursuit of efficiency, working smarter, and challenging the status quo. These principles led to the creation of a new category of construction technology in ProcurePro.

What's in this playbook?
We’ve worked directly with hundreds of contractors, spoken with thousands, and invested millions insetting a new standard for procurement.

This playbook is our way of sharing the hard-won ‘lessons learnt’ from the journey, and a practical blueprint to modernise procurement and set your construction business up for success in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

We’ll walk you through how procurement has evolved - from fragmented, to connected, and now AI-enabled.
