Procurement firm aims to cut one billion hours of admin time
The company believes this is just scratching the surface and that procurement automation software is fundamentally reshaping procurement. ProcurePro's founder Alastair Blenkin, a 40 Under 40 alumnus, said: "Construction teams have been drowning in emails, spreadsheets, and manual processes for decades. "We're not just making minor improvements — we're transforming procurement from the ground up." How UK construction solves key challenges UK construction is currently facing significant hurdles: widespread labour shortages, lagging industry growth, and notably sluggish technology adoption. Procurement software adoption isn't just an administrative efficiency — it's a key strategic solution, empowering contractors to cope with and thrive amidst these challenges. Leading UK contractors like Mount Anvil, Kori Construction, SMD, and are already reaping substantial benefits from ProcurePro's digital revolution. Mark Hopkins, Commercial Director at Mount Anvil, summarises the shift clearly: "Every construction company should be using ProcurePro. It's a no-brainer." SMD has also transformed its operations, reporting significantly reduced administrative overhead and enhanced project transparency. Jon Wren, SMD's Commercial Director, said: "Digitising our procurement processes with ProcurePro has allowed our teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than drowning in paperwork." Meanwhile, Kori Construction has experienced accelerated decision-making and improved cost control, crucial in the current economic climate. Legacie, known for high-end residential construction, has improved vendor management, enabling faster project delivery and greater transparency across their supply chain. A human-centric digital revolution ProcurePro is also committed to 'humanising' technology. The company's mission — to save one billion administrative hours - is more than a lofty aspiration; it's about genuinely improving quality of life for construction professionals bogged down by administrative work. "Every hour saved is an hour construction professionals can redirect toward strategic decision-making, relationship-building, and delivering outstanding projects," says Blenkin. "We're passionate about freeing people from admin work so they can focus on what truly matters." The adoption rate among Australian builders is expected to hit 50% by the end of 2025 and similar rapid growth is anticipated across UK and European markets. The AI labour revolution is inevitable, and early adopters of digitalisation, like Mount Anvil, Kori Construction, SMD, and Legacie, will have a significant competitive advantage. For Blenkin and his team, the goal remains crystal clear: "We're here to turn procurement from the industry's Achilles' heel into its greatest strength. The scale we've reached so far is incredible, but we're just getting started." As construction procurement rapidly evolves to meet the demands of the digital age, ProcurePro stands front and centre, championing a smarter, more efficient, and profoundly human approach to spend management and project delivery. The message from the industry is loud and clear: digitalise or get left behind. Is your procurement ready for the future? Because the future is already here, and it's called ProcurePro.
