In their own words
MeRLIN Spend Analytics
MeRLIN Spend Analytics gives procurement and finance teams a consolidated view of spending across suppliers, categories and regions. It collects, cleanses and enriches procurement data, then uses AI and fuzzy logic to normalize and classify it. Real-time dashboards and standard reports show spend by department, supplier, category and geography, with custom KPI views also available. Teams can compare budget with actual spend across sourcing programs and examine contract terms and early-payment discounts. The analytics highlight potential spend leakage, savings opportunities and negotiation insights. The wider source-to-procure platform includes supplier and category management, sourcing projects, contract lifecycle management, compliance, risk management, e-sourcing, purchasing, invoicing and credit notes. MeRLIN is modular SaaS hosted on Microsoft Azure; customer data-centre deployment is possible in specific situations. It connects to ERP and bespoke systems through standard middleware and can import master data from ERP, PLM or legacy systems. Pricing is on request.
