# Procurified: Construction Procurement Automation
Procurified is a B2B SaaS platform that automates the construction tendering and procurement process for buyers and sellers.[1] Founded in 2019 and based in Dubai, the company addresses a fundamental inefficiency in the construction industry: the manual, spreadsheet and PDF-reliant process of project bidding and vendor management.[1]
The platform serves construction buyers and sellers by digitizing tender management, automating quoting for sellers, streamlining reviews for buyers, and providing data-driven insights for decision-makers.[1][2] By moving procurement workflows from fragmented spreadsheets to a unified cloud-based platform, Procurified helps construction and design firms reduce administrative overhead, accelerate bidding cycles, and gain visibility into their procurement operations.[2]
Procurified was founded in 2019 by Marc Lemmens and Rupert Tait, both of whom had direct experience navigating the complexities of the construction tendering process.[1][2] Their firsthand frustration with manual, inefficient procurement workflows—managing bids through Excel and PDFs—motivated them to build a better solution tailored specifically to the construction and design industry.[2]
The company raised $1.1 million in seed funding led by DIFC-based Aditum Investment Management, with participation from Signal Peak Ventures, Al Hathboor Group, Empede Capital, and angel investors.[1] This early validation from regional and international investors reflected confidence in the market opportunity within Middle Eastern and global construction markets.
Procurified operates within the broader construction tech and procurement automation wave, where digitization of traditionally manual processes is reshaping how enterprises manage spend and vendor relationships. The construction industry has historically lagged in digital adoption compared to other sectors, making it a high-opportunity market for automation solutions.
The timing is favorable: construction firms face persistent labor shortages, rising project complexity, and pressure to improve margins—all factors that make procurement automation increasingly valuable. Procurified's focus on the Middle East, particularly the UAE's robust construction sector, positions it in a region with significant infrastructure investment and a growing appetite for enterprise software solutions.
The company competes in a broader ecosystem of procurement and bid management platforms, but its construction-specific positioning and AI-driven document processing differentiate it from more horizontal procurement solutions.[1]
Procurified has established a foothold in a fragmented but sizable market. With seed funding secured and a clear product-market fit in construction procurement, the company's trajectory will likely depend on expanding beyond the Middle East into other major construction markets, deepening AI capabilities for document intelligence, and potentially expanding horizontally into adjacent procurement challenges (supplier management, contract lifecycle management).
The construction industry's ongoing digital transformation suggests sustained demand for solutions that eliminate manual procurement friction. As Procurified scales, its ability to integrate with existing construction management systems and expand its vendor network will be critical to capturing larger enterprise customers and driving adoption across geographies.
