Across the projects we work on, whether in Private Equity portfolios or mid-market teams, we keep noticing the same pattern: too many suppliers, too many contracts, and far too many manual steps slowing everything down.
We asked ourselves: what’s the one thing that could truly make a difference?
And honestly, the answer turned out to be pretty simple, and it’s the same advice we give any operator or CFO today:
“Build a clear, AI-enabled operating model that shows you where the inefficiencies are immediately, and then helps fix them just as fast”. Justin Freeman, CEO at Anqora Consulting.

In this insight, I we walk through:
- Why procurement is the best (and easiest) place to start with AI
- The value leaks we keep finding over and over again
- A practical, realistic roadmap for modernizing contracts, spend analytics, and P2P
- How to make AI adoption fast, low-risk, and actually measurable
This is the exact playbook we’re rolling out with clients right now, and it’s what inspired our AI & technology-enabled services.
If you’re trying to understand where AI can create the biggest impact first, this is where Anqora would start.
