Questions for your evaluation

How does a search become a qualified supplier shortlist?

Use your own specification. Compare search inputs, qualification evidence, data freshness and the handoff into sourcing.

What happens after suppliers respond?

Ask how responses, quotes and exceptions are compared, and who approves the next step.

How will this work with your existing systems?

Confirm the required data, supported connectors, permissions and ownership of implementation.

What would a useful pilot prove?

Use the same real procurement example, success criteria and approval boundaries with each vendor.

Frequently asked questions

How are DeepStream and Mercanis related?

Both profiles focus on sourcing & supplier discovery. Their listed use cases overlap in RFx Automation, Supplier Discovery, Contract Lifecycle Management.

Does a longer capability list mean a better product?

No. The table describes information recorded in published profiles. It does not score workflow depth, implementation quality or performance.

Does an unlisted integration or market mean it is unsupported?

No. Missing information needs confirmation with the vendor. Market coverage is kept separate from company headquarters, and customer size served is separate from vendor employee count.

How should we choose between these companies?

Agree on your required process, systems, markets and approval boundaries. Ask both vendors to demonstrate the same real example, and compare the results, responsibilities and implementation requirements.
