Overview

Mercura is the AI platform for quote and order processing for technical distributors and manufacturers: it reads incoming requests, matches every line item to the right product and turns them into ERP-ready quotes and orders.

Requests arrive as e-mails, PDFs, scans, Excel lists, bills of quantities and GAEB tenders. Sales teams review every quote before it goes out, and the result is written straight into their ERP. Built for distributors and manufacturers in HVAC and plumbing, electrical, building materials, building services and industrial supplies.
