Anvil Analytical

How do you approach the development of #AI-powered #procurement tools that are simultaneously practical, easy to use and precise? “[Recently,] we’ve seen AI burst onto the scene and become mainstream within the procurement community. However, in a procurement innovation world all too often dominated by box-ticking rhetoric, Anvil was keen from the offset to innovate AI solutions which were true to the tool’s humble beginning,” explains Richard Brown, Head of Sales & Marketing at Anvil Analytical. “The development team were tasked to take a look at where AI could make the greatest practical impact on our tools and more importantly, the experience of its users.” Explore how the disruptive SaaS provider is utilising cutting-edge technology to tackle complex issues within strategic sourcing in this exclusive interview.

Our New Mid-Market Tech Map has landed! 🔥 Refreshed and completely updated. This time, with links embedded IF you download the FREE, print quality PDF version in our Store: https://lnkd.in/d2FcUXum The only Tech Map for Digital Procurement tools that serve Mid-Market businesses. We define this as businesses with between $50m and $1 billion revenue. One of the biggest challenges I always hear is "there are too many solutions, I'm confused". This will give you the first step towards understanding the market. Of course, it's not a substitute for detailed due diligence and understanding the nuances of what each solution can or can't do. If it was, then obviously we'd have to charge for it. Instead, see it as a self-help tool to get a broad overview of all of the different solutions. Because if you know that much without having to spend days googling, then in the words of another great philosopher Jon Bon Jovi, we're halfway there. If you have a solution that we've not listed and think should be on here, DM me. If you're wondering why Enterprise software isn't listed on here, the clue is in the name 😉. But I can guarantee I'll still get comments asking this 🙈 ************************************* 👋 Hi, I'm James. I'm passionate about modernising our profession, thinking differently, and escaping the winter to somewhere warmer.   🦄 Confused about procurement tech? Grab our FREE Tech Maps (see top profile)
