Supplier discovery
Identify candidate manufacturers, distributors or project suppliers around a defined need.
For buyers & procurement teams
From requirement to qualified commercial options.
MERSTAD helps buyers turn a sourcing need, RFQ or project requirement into a structured workstream with supplier evidence, commercial comparisons and execution controls.
Buyer-side work
Search is only the first step.
A long supplier list is not procurement. MERSTAD structures what happens after discovery: qualification, evidence, technical fit, commercial terms, route economics and controlled next actions.
Qualification & evidence
Separate plausible suppliers from actionable ones using structured evidence and source provenance.
Commercial comparison
Compare pricing basis, Incoterms, lead time, payment terms, logistics and other deal variables.
RFQ & BOQ work
Organize technical and commercial requirements into manageable supplier workstreams.
Risk coordination
Surface transaction risks and route relevant insurance or specialist needs to appropriately authorized providers.
Execution path
Keep commercial decisions, authority and external commitments governed as the opportunity advances.
Start with the requirement
Tell us what you need, where, when and under what constraints.
A usable request can begin with a product, specification, BOQ, target market, budget range or simply a commercial problem that needs to be structured.
