Merlin Agentic Sourcing: First Look at MAS

Describe the business problem. See how Merlin takes it from sourcing brief to award, with you in control.

Strategic sourcing can involve weeks of chasing stakeholders, finding the right templates and comparing bids by hand. Compliance checks often come late in the process. Merlin Agentic Sourcing (MAS) brings those steps into one workflow, with your team reviewing decisions along the way.

In this on-demand session, Luke Doherty introduces Merlin Agentic Sourcing, built into the Zycus Source-to-Pay platform. Then Shirley Islam walks through a live first look at MAS in action.

The demo follows a packaging category with 482 suppliers, where the top five account for just 30% of spend. The goal is to build a smaller preferred supplier panel and reduce the number of active suppliers by 30 – 40%. Watch Merlin help create the brief, develop a strategy, draft the RFP and score responses.

What you’ll see:

• How Merlin turns a plain-language business problem into a sourcing brief and strategy within minutes.
• A live first look at a packaging sourcing scenario involving 482 suppliers and a target to reduce the active supplier base by 30 – 40%.
• Should-cost benchmarking, RFP drafting and supplier scoring in one workflow.
• How scenario modelling supports an award recommendation that your team can review and approve, with an audit trail.
• How a governed AI workflow fits into the wider sourcing process, and where it can save your team time.
