In the age of AI, the race is on to get your data in order - it’s the foundation for using AI in a way that actually matters.

The smartest place to start is procurement, where 80% of your costs flow through your supply chain. Yes, we’re biased, but it makes perfect sense: get procurement structured, consistent, and connected, and you benchmarking, real insights, and proactive AI-enabled decisions.

The procurement tech maturity curve illustrates this.

Picture this: your client calls. They’re planning a new residential tower and want you in early contractor involvement. You sit down, looking at their vision. You guide them on how to build it, design choices you’d make, opportunities for value engineering. Then ask the million-dollar question: “What’s this going to cost?”



Traditionally, you’d be gun-shy, or say you need a few weeks to crunch the numbers. But now? You’ve got years of procurement data structured, benchmarked, and at your fingertips. You know exactly what you’ve paid for steel, concrete, cladding, MEP, across dozens of projects. With AI pulling the threads, you can instantly compare, analyse and give a high level feasibility on the spot.

That’s a game-changer. Instead of a finger in the wind, you’re giving data-backed insights in real time. You move into the realm of being a trusted advisor, and pose the question - are cost consultants needed?

Modernise procurement today, to get cost insights tomorrow.

This is what the best builders of the future will look like.
