Krane is a construction procurement and material-management platform that uses AI-native assistants to turn drawings and specs into procurement logs, submittal packages, and delivery coordination for GCs, owners, and subcontractors.
Krane markets itself as an AI-native operating system for construction procurement and materials, aimed at general contractors, owners, and trade partners who need one place to run buying and logistics (Krane, 2026). The homepage states that customers are managing more than fifteen billion dollars of active project value on the platform, which signals enterprise-scale adoption though your own pilot should validate fit.
Functionally, the product splits into material management and procurement suites. Upload drawings and specifications and the assistants draft procurement logs, submittal registers, and QC packages you can review before issuing (Krane, 2026). Other automations follow up with partners for lead times, reconcile purchase orders against quotes and tickets, and tie install dates to submittals and deliveries.
The interface is organised around named assistants (for example roles covering procurement strategy, submittals, follow-ups, and site delivery) so teams can see which job each automation performs (Krane, 2026). Integrations and SSO expectations are typical for a modern SaaS buyer; confirm your ERP, accounting, and document control connections during a demo.
Pricing is not listed publicly; expect statements of work that cover modules, project count, and support. Because procurement touches legal and payment flows, involve legal and AP early when you evaluate access scopes and audit trails.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Krane built for?
Marketing targets general contractors, owners, and subcontractors who share procurement and material workflows (Krane, 2026). Enterprise GCs with complex packages will see the clearest fit.
How does Krane create a procurement log?
You upload specs and drawings; the platform's assistants generate a starting log and strategy for review, then your team locks the plan before issuing packages (Krane, 2026).
Can Krane help with submittals?
Yes. One assistant path focuses on turning specs and drawings into a submittal register and QC steps so reviewers can approve a complete package instead of chasing attachments manually (Krane, 2026).
Does Krane integrate with ERP or accounting?
The site positions Krane as a central procurement hub; exact ERP connectors should be confirmed in a demo with your IT and finance teams. Treat integration scope as a formal requirement in the RFP (Krane, 2026).
What should we pilot first?
Pick one large package with messy documents so you can compare time to issue against your legacy process. Measure sub turnaround, PO accuracy, and dock reliability rather than model accuracy alone (Krane, 2026).
Is pricing published?
No list prices appear on krane.tech. Expect enterprise quotes that vary by module, project count, and services. Ask for sandbox data handling terms before uploading confidential bids (Krane, 2026).
