About us

We are an Agentic AI Procurement Suite – Leading the Procurement of Tomorrow

At Mercanis, we have a clear mission: to shape the procurement of tomorrow – digital, transparent, and intelligent.

Our Agentic AI Procurement Suite digitalises the entire procurement process – from demand to supplier management and contract signing. Through the use of AI, operational tasks are fully automated, allowing procurement departments to focus on strategic matters. In this way, we create efficient structures, reduce manual efforts, and promote seamless collaboration along the entire supply chain. 

Our vision: transparent processes, time-optimised automations, and sustainable supplier relationships that deliver real value.

With over $30 million in Series A funding, supported by leading investors such as Partech, Atlantic Vantage Point (AVP), and Speedinvest, we are well-positioned to continue expanding our vision. Since our founding, we've been working with a passionate team to shape the future of procurement. We are convinced: this is just the beginning.

That's why we are looking for ambitious new team members and creative minds who are ready to take bold new steps with us and shape the future of procurement.

We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities—regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or ability—as part of our commitment to a fair, transparent, and merit-based recruitment process. 

We know the impostor syndrome can sometimes hold back incredible talent, so if you're doubting yourself, don't. We genuinely want to hear from you, and encourage you to apply.
