Case Study: Merz North America achieves paper-free, automated grants management with SmartSimple Cloud

A flexible, easily configurable platform demonstrates its true value for Merz North America, Inc.

Merz North America faced a fragmented, paper-based grants process built on Excel spreadsheets that relied on manual signatures and slow payment requests. Seeking an eco-friendly, compliance-ready system with online application, review, and approval capabilities, Merz selected SmartSimple Cloud and Premium Support to centralize and modernize their grants and giving workflows.

SmartSimple Cloud implemented a configurable, all-in-one Grants & Giving portal with automated application, review and approval workflows, integration for electronic signatures, and a clear, trackable audit trail. The SmartSimple Cloud solution made Merz’s office paper-free, eliminated manual bottlenecks, sped up approvals and funding distribution, and markedly reduced administrative burden while improving compliance and overall efficiency.
