Our take
Mercanis is setting out to overturn digital procurement, an industry where the potential has traditionally been significantly limited. The current lack of digitisation has led to companies missing out on cost-saving procedures and optimised productivity.
The company looks to change the way companies manage resources by enabling procurement specialists to work on strategic tasks through smart automation and leveraging smart data. In doing so, Mercanis is disrupting how companies collaborate with their service providers, whilst increasing transparency in the selection process. This makes buying services smart, efficient and compliant.
Mercanis is an early stage company and is backed to seed stage by reputable Venture Capital investors. Moving forwards, they are focused on hiring talent and moving quickly to expand the company further.
