Anvil Analytical, the AI-driven SaaS provider addressing complex challenges in strategic sourcing, supplier, risk, and carbon footprint management, announced significant advancements to its platform with the launch of its new Anvil Insights module. This expansion of capabilities, alongside a strategic rebrand and updated digital presence, underscores Anvil Analytical’s commitment to delivering real-world value to clients and stakeholders.
Born out of specialist procurement and supply chain consultancy, 4C Associates, Anvil Analytical helps organisations optimise procurement, supply chain and sustainability performance through its AI-driven platform.
Central to this evolution is the introduction of Anvil Analytical’s Insights module, an advanced AI-driven solution designed for customisation to meet specific client needs. This new module is typically deployed in two ways:
- Agentic AI: Designed to support early-stage category planning, our tailored insight engine delivers instant visibility into relevant suppliers and key commercial levers.
- Anvil Intelligent Extraction (AI Extract): Unlocks insights from unstructured data by standardising messy datasets and surfacing hidden patterns that drive better outcomes.
“This capability expansion and rebrand reflect Anvil Analytical’s rapid growth and rising industry credibility,” said Steve Harrison, CEO of Anvil Analytical. “We’ve been recognised by Gartner Peer Insights as the top procurement analytics platform, launched our powerful new Anvil Insights module, and are directly addressing a broader range of stakeholders – enabling leaders from procurement to finance, sustainability and other key business functions to understand the full impact of the platform.”
These platform enhancements are part of a broader strategic evolution for Anvil Analytical, which also includes an updated brand identity. The refreshed branding signifies the company’s evolving reputation and client impact while reinforcing Anvil Analytical’s position within the FourCentric group, connecting clients to a wider suite of tools and consulting expertise across procurement, supply chain analytics, operations, and executive talent. Its integrated approach aims to help organisations address complex challenges and improve performance.
“Our expanded platform capability and new branding mark an exciting step forward for Anvil Analytical,” added Steve Harrison. “While we are now more closely aligned with the FourCentric house of brands, our mission remains to help businesses proactively manage spend, carbon, contracts, supplier risk and market shifts. We remain the same trusted partner, now with even greater opportunities to add value through the FourCentric group.”
