Sourcing events are easier to set up, so we can invite more suppliers. With that I expect better prices that fit into the market situation, and that makes us more competitive.

FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Mercanis

How does Mercanis help secure critical components like transformers, switchgear, or cables?
Mercanis aggregates global supplier, risk, and capacity signals to identify disruptions early. Autonomous agents match qualified suppliers faster, create RFPs, and run award simulations, reducing lead time and ensuring critical infrastructure equipment arrives on schedule.
Can Mercanis support compliance with EUDR, ESG, ISO, and other energy-sector regulations?
Yes. Mercanis automates certificate collection, expiry tracking, and ESG documentation. The system validates data at supplier and material level, creating audit-ready evidence for utilities, grid operators, and renewable asset developers.
How does Mercanis speed up CAPEX sourcing for complex energy projects?
Mercanis uses autonomous agents to draft technical RFPs, identify alternative suppliers, evaluate bids, and simulate award scenarios. This shortens sourcing cycles from weeks to days and helps deliver CAPEX projects on time and within budget.
How does Mercanis reduce supplier and geopolitical risk for critical supply chains?
The platform monitors real-time risk indicators across financial, operational, geographical, and ESG dimensions. You receive predictive alerts when disruptions threaten lead times, grid stability, or compliance, enabling proactive mitigation.
Can Mercanis work with my engineering team, EPC partners, and external project stakeholders?
Yes. Mercanis centralises communication and procurement workflows across internal engineering teams, EPCs, OEMs, and suppliers. Everyone works from the same specification, documentation, and timeline, reducing errors and delays.
Is Mercanis suitable for both regulated utilities and renewable energy developers?
Absolutely. The platform is built for organisations with long lifecycle assets, strict regulatory requirements, and high-value components. Utilities, DSOs/TSOs, solar & wind developers, hydrogen projects, and storage operators all benefit from the same transparency and automation.
