"Mercanis is a hidden gem — and one of the top five interfaces I've ever seen in procurement."
Dr. Elouise Epstein Partner, Kearney · Global Procurement Practice
Of the hundreds of procurement platforms evaluated over her career, fewer than five had an interface this compelling. This is one of them.
This is not a vendor claim. It is the assessment of one of the most respected voices in European procurement consulting.

“ Of the hundreds or thousands of startups I've looked at over my career, there are less than five screens that were so impressive that I knew it was successful. What Fabian showed me is one of those top five interfaces — maybe top three. You're building the platform that is going to drive the next generation of procurement. Most of what's talked about in the market is a legacy solution with an AI layer on top — and that is not what I believe in. I want to see more companies like Mercanis talking about an AI platform for procurement.“

Why this assessment. What it means for your procurement team.
Kearney's procurement practice evaluates hundreds of platforms annually. The distinction Dr. Epstein draws is architectural: most solutions add AI as a layer on top of legacy systems. The data stays fragmented. The intelligence doesn't compound.
Mercanis was built from the ground up on a single database — so procurement history, supplier relationships, and contract data compound in value over time instead of disappearing between systems.
