Merlin Intake for Emerging Markets

Unstructured Request Channels

Intake happens via emails, chats, or spreadsheetsโ€”causing delays and miscommunication.

Broken Approval Workflows

Approvals stall due to unclear routing, role confusion, and lack of visibility.

Weak Policy Enforcement

Inconsistent controls result in maverick spending and compliance risks.

Siloed Systems, Zero Traceability

Disconnected ERPs and procurement tools limit visibility into spend and actions.
