For CFOs
Spend stays visible as access grows.
For CFOs: a transparent annual subscription, with no per-seat fees. About 1/10 the cost of enterprise suites. Adding a colleague does not add a seat charge.
Reconciling files carries a cost.
You need to explain cash tied up in stock while sales, intake and margin arrive in separate reports. A connected view puts those inputs beside each other.
| Finance review | Separate reports | Connected platform |
|---|---|---|
| Stock exposure | Reconcile exports | Live sales and stock |
| Margin discussion | Compare snapshots | Pricing beside demand |
| Trading outlook | Assemble updates | Shared intake and allocation |
Approval needs evidence beyond the invoice.
The purchase case also rests on how you oversee working capital and protect margin once the software is in use.
Cash review
Instead of tracing stock across reports, review inventory and demand together to see where capital is tied up.
Markdown review
Before accepting a price reduction, compare its expected financial effect. Review warnings before committing the change.
Budget review
Compare scenarios and audit history before approval. Your discussion can start with the assumptions behind the plan.
Accountability extends beyond finance.
Your CEO needs the investment case, the trading risks and the reason to proceed. Planning and buying supply the assumptions; you assess the financial commitment.
Unbudgeted costs deserve a direct answer.
Implementation overruns, uncounted seats and consultants can change the case you signed off. The POC is free, implementation is scoped upfront, and subscriptions are fixed annually.

Questions, answered.
A financial commitment deserves evidence from your own business.
How do I assess the total cost over 3 years?
Use the annual subscription quote, services charges and renewal terms in your model. The comparison is about 1/10 the cost of enterprise suites; it is not a 3-year total.
What if the POC does not work for us?
Walk away after 6 weeks. No contract, no fee and no obligation to continue.
When can we be live?
Live in 12 to 15 weeks, end to end, including your internal approvals between the POC and setup.
Must we replace our ERP?
No. merchmix can work with your existing ERP. You can evaluate that approach during the POC.
Before signing, there is a test.
A 1-hour demo with sales and product, then a free 6-week POC on your own data. Bring the financial questions your approval depends on.
