Case Study: University of Amsterdam improves procurement efficiency with Mercell

Time-saving procurement benefits the University of Amsterdam

The University of Amsterdam, along with Amsterdam Hogeschool, faced a manual and paper-based procurement process that was time-consuming and difficult to manage. They needed to digitize their tendering to meet new obligations and create a more efficient, easily auditable system for their substantial purchasing spend. They selected Mercell as their procurement software provider.

Mercell implemented its Source-to-Contract platform, which centralized the entire procurement process and archiving into a single digital system. This provided crucial structure to tenders through forms, improved the quality of assessments, and delivered valuable reporting insights into workload and tender duration. The solution replaced a cumbersome physical filing system, making audits easier and ensuring all contract conditions and agreements are clear and transparent for all parties involved.
