“
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.

“
For the first time, we have absolute transparency across sourcing events, suppliers, and prices, without slowing the business.

At some point, the question won’t be, “Which system do I open first in the morning?” Every procurement professional will open Mercanis alongside Outlook and manage their tasks there.

What impressed us most was how quickly we could achieve results. The onboarding process is smart, allowing us to efficiently engage with suppliers. We reduced supplier onboarding from 6 weeks to 2 weeks.

Where procurement analytics breaks down

Scattered data

Scattered data

Spend is spread across systems. And there is no consolidated view.

Unknown impact

Unknown impact

When processes are automated with AI, it is hardly ever measured whether it pays off.

No next step

No next step

Procurement has more data than ever. What is missing is the step to action.

Mercanis closes all three, with one analysis across spend and process and the actions to take attached.

How it works

Mercanis analyses the data and recommends actions. The decisions stay with procurement.

1

Platform analytics per module

Platform analytics per module.
The results procurement achieves, from savings to approved suppliers, show up in one dashboard.

Measure progress right next to set targets.

2

All spend in one picture

All spend in one picture.
Spend is consolidated into one total and analysed by category, by supplier and further.

Nobody has to rebuild the spend picture in Excel.

3

A spend profile for every supplier

A spend profile for every supplier.
The spend profile puts a supplier in relation to the rest of the spend, starting with its category.

Attention goes to the suppliers that actually carry the spend.

4

A second record, on performance

A second record, on performance.
Every process that runs on the platform gets measured, and every supplier's activity builds its own record.

Everything that happens in the process can be traced back to its source.

5

A supplier that sees its own performance

A supplier that sees its own performance.
The same record is available in the supplier portal, with an anonymised comparison against the peer group.

Seeing where they stand gives suppliers a reason to improve, and that becomes leverage for procurement.

6

The actions to take

The actions to take.
AI names the next step for every finding, so action starts right where it was found.

So reading the analysis is not the last step, starting the action is.

7

Explore how your processes truly run

Explore how your processes truly run.
Process KPIs show how each module performs, whether AI makes it faster, and where workflow bottlenecks exist.

The impact of AI is measured, and where to act next becomes visible.

FAQ

Everything You Need to
Know About Mercanis

What is procurement analytics software?
Procurement analytics software measures how procurement performs across the whole process, from the first request to the paid invoice. Mercanis builds it into the platform, so each module reports its results against its targets and process KPIs show where AI speeds up the work. Recommendations then point to the next action, and procurement decides whether to take it.
How can you measure the impact of automation on procurement processes?
Mercanis tracks process KPIs in every module, so it becomes visible what changes once a step runs automatically. Typical examples are the cycle time of a sourcing event from invitation to decision or the share of order confirmations that match their purchase order. End-to-end cycle times add how long a case takes across all modules.
How does the procurement dashboard in Mercanis Analytics find bottlenecks?
The procurement dashboard is part of Mercanis Analytics and measures cycle times for each stage of a process. A sourcing event, for example, is broken down from invitation to offer submission to decision, so a delay in one stage stands out against the others. This way, procurement can identify which step is the bottleneck.
How do you turn procurement data into actions?
By linking each finding to the step that follows from it. In Mercanis, the analytics and the procurement work sit on one platform, so a category with low contract coverage can go into a sourcing event and a supplier with weak scores into a new evaluation cycle. Recommendations update as the data changes, and procurement decides which action to take.
What is spend analysis software?
Spend analysis software brings purchasing data from different systems together, classifies it and shows where the money goes, so procurement can spot savings and consolidation potential. In Mercanis, spend can be analysed by category, supplier, entity and period, including how it develops over time. Classification follows the organisation's own category tree, and AI suggests categories for free-text requests that buyers can correct.
Where does Mercanis get the data for procurement analytics?
Mercanis combines two sources. Spend and order data comes in from the ERP through APIs, also when different entities or countries run on different systems. Everything that runs through the platform itself, from sourcing events to invoices, adds to it. Each figure shows which system it came from, and the ERP stays the system of record.
