Description

MeRLIN is a Strategic Sourcing Solution offering seamlessly integrated sourcing process automation for RFx/eAuctions, with supplier relationship management and planning functions augmented by advanced analytics functions. It plays a key role in enhancing collaboration between buyers and suppliers on an intuitive and easy to use platform. MeRLIN is modular, flexible, configurable and easy to deploy. It is the go-to solution for the strategic sourcing needs of enterprise sourcing organizations.

Description

Obtaining competitive quotes often involves the tedious process of contacting suppliers individually via email. SourcingHQ simplifies this by consolidating the process into a single, timed bidding round. You can describe the product or service you require in straightforward terms or simply forward the inquiry received from your customer, and the AI assistant will create a structured request that outlines the necessary items, quantities, and a deadline. You then select the suppliers you typically engage with, allowing them to place bids through an email link, without the need for accounts, while also being able to see their current standing and adjust their offers before the bidding period ends. This platform enables you to analyze the pricing in detail, providing both PDF and Excel reports for easy comparison. SourcingHQ is tailored for small to mid-sized buyers, distributors, and resellers who frequently face one-off and urgent requests where pricing varies significantly. Their free plan allows for three auction events, while paid subscriptions cater to teams that need to source on a monthly basis. Additionally, there is a complimentary tool available to help compare quotes that have already been gathered, ensuring users have a comprehensive way to evaluate their options. This innovative approach not only streamlines the quoting process but also enhances the ability to secure the best possible deals.
