SAN FRANCISCO — March 26, 2026 — Krane, an AI-native supply chain platform that manages more than $15 billion in active construction projects for general contractors, no owners and subcontractors, from SMBs to leading ENR Top 100 GCs and mission-critical data center builders, has announced the launch of Krane Procurement, a new module that extends its platform to teams responsible for sourcing and purchasing material and equipment from RFP through delivery.

The expansion, backed by $9M in seed funding from Link Ventures and Glasswing VC, provides construction teams with a single system to unify procurement and material coordination across GC, owner, and subcontractor workflows from pre-construction through last-mile delivery.

Founded in 2023 by Eshan Jayamanne, a licensed Professional Engineer who spent more than a decade leading large-scale energy, infrastructure, and data center builds, Krane grew out of his frustration with procurement workflows spread across emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems.

The results have been measurable. Teams using Krane report 10x faster response times from subcontractors and suppliers, up to 7 days saved per scope during pre-construction, 15–20 hours saved per week for project engineers and project managers, and a 1–2.5% reduction in material overspend per project. The platform has also achieved an 88% trade partner response rate, roughly double the industry average.

"Procurement in construction is death by a thousand follow-ups. GCs chase subcontractors, subcontractors chase suppliers, and everyone's working out of a different inbox," said Jayamanne. “We built Krane so the same system works for everyone on the project. When teams see that, they show up.”

Krane's expansion comes at a moment of acute pressure on construction supply chains. U.S. data center construction spending hit roughly $40 billion in mid-2025, with hyperscale projects running from $500 million to over $20 billion each. Nearly 40% of projects now face supply chain delays, and construction prices have climbed about 6% year-over-year.

Fresh investment is accelerating Krane's next phase: expanding beyond procurement and delivery coordination to RFP development, supporting owners and subcontractors, deepening integrations with construction management systems, and growing beyond its current footprint in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The company is particularly focused on sectors where procurement risk compounds quickly, including data center and energy construction.

For owners, fragmented procurement records create a persistent coordination problem: tracking Owner-Controlled Furnished Items across procurement logs, delivery schedules, and project records is manual work that leaves OCFI commitments exposed to timing failures and cost surprises. For subcontractors, the same fragmentation shows up differently as gaps between what was ordered, delivered, and invoiced often don’t surface until they reach accounts payable or the jobsite. 

"As an owner, visibility isn't about tracking materials. It's about protecting schedule and operational readiness across our portfolio," said CP, Health Major Capital Projects - UCSF James Peace. “On complex healthcare projects, small procurement gaps turn into real disruption. Krane helps us surface risk early so we can act before it hits the job site.”

Krane Procurement gives both teams a single place to manage procurement from RFP through material delivery and invoicing. The module controls the procurement process from RFP through delivery, helping owners and subcontractors reconcile procurement data with accuracy. The module is built for real-world environments where PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, and incomplete data are the norm, enabling subcontractors and owners to adopt it without requiring every supplier in their network to use a new system.

Currently, Krane integrates with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, CMiC, Sage 360, SAP, Microsoft Project, and Oracle Primavera P6.
