Small and medium companies

Up until now Supply Chain Risk Management has been the domain of large,  multi-national enterprises, who had the time, money and resources to  implement it. In fact, many of companies with billions of dollars of spend  even now don't properly manage their supply chain risk. We strongly believe  that THIS IS WRONG!

Risk Management needs to be a standard process  already in small and medium-sized companies - and out aim is to help  companies do just that. To this aim, we analysed the typical hurdles smaller companies face in the  implementation of Supply Chain Risk Management and would like to show  you how Meercat Suite solves them.

Problem #1: We don't have the know-how

The biggest hurdle in implementing Supply Chain Risk Management is the  lack of know-how. Many companies simply don't know where to start and  the available literature is either too theoretical, too complex or both.
That is why we provide you with a step by step guideline on how to  implement risk management in your company. In fact, we insist that before  you start using our software, you take time to implement the right  processes and set-up an organisation in your company. To support you in  this important forming stage, we'll only start billing you one month after you  sign up. In this way you will be able to concentrate at the task at hand,  instead of worrying about incurring extra costs.

Problem #2: We don't have the resources / people

And who has? That is why Meercat is ready to use from the moment you  purchase our services and does not require any IT support on your side.  Furthermore, you can split the data entry and monitoring among different  departments (purchasing, finance, quality management, risk management  and others). If that's not enough, you can ask your suppliers to fill-out self- assessments, so that you can concentrate on the analysis, rather than data  entry.

Problem #3: Risk Management Software is way too complicated

We think so, too! That's why we design our software to be as user friendly  as possible. If the websites you visit during your leisure time are colourful  and easy to use, why shouldn't your business website be?
We provide a lot of wizards to ease up the set-up and daily use of our  software. You'll be taken through the process step-by step and additional  guidance is just a step away. If you still have problems, you can refer to our  online user manual or order a training session. But, seriously, you'll find that  all of that is really unnecessary!

Problem #4: It's too expensive

Meercat Risk Management Essentials is surprisingly inexpensive, just send  us a note and our sales will happily discuss the details with you. Why is that? Because, unlike our competitors, our organisational structure is "lean and mean" - we have only one focus in mind: you as the customer. What is  more, we offer three versions of our software Essential, Professional and  Enterprise. You can start with more basic version and upgrade as your risk  management organisation matures and your needs grow.
