The problem

After a merger, procurement inherits two of everything.

Two ERPs, two supplier bases, two taxonomies. Names don't match, and the savings clock is ticking.

It's a people problem too: adoption stalls when staff fear the merger. One trustworthy view of spend moves the conversation from fear to value.

How Mithra solves it

From two unmerged systems to one consolidation plan.

01

Supplier normalization

Match the same supplier across both companies even when names differ — well beyond fuzzy matching, and it holds up on smaller suppliers.

02

Material & service harmonization

Unify what's bought across both entities, materials and services handled separately.

03

Category re-mapping

Rebuild one common taxonomy from two divergent structures, catching mis-booked suppliers.

04

Consolidation agents

Surface where the merged entity buys the same thing twice — strategic vs. tail-spend aware.

05

Atlas reporting

Leadership's high-level view on demand: top categories, key suppliers, total spend.

Where is the merged company buying the same thing twice?

Once both supplier bases are normalized, the agents surface every overlap, ranked by value, with the evidence behind it.

  • Context-aware recommendationsThe engine won't suggest dropping a strategic supplier for a tail-spend one.
  • Every finding carries evidenceThe duplicate contracts, the rate gap, and the estimated annual saving.
  • Board-ready prioritizationHighest-value, highest-confidence overlaps first, so the savings clock starts on day one.

Two divergent taxonomies, rebuilt as one.

Mithra re-maps both pre-merger structures into one common tree, catching mis-booked suppliers along the way.

  • One common taxonomyBuilt from both source structures, reviewed by exception.
  • Mismatches caughtSuppliers booked under conflicting categories are flagged and re-mapped.
  • Materials and services handled separatelyBecause their data behaves very differently.

FAQ

Post-merger consolidation questions, answered.

No. Mithra sits above both systems. Load extracts from each ERP and Mithra builds one harmonized spend view across them, without waiting on a system migration or a new IT project. That's the point: get one source of spend truth while the systems are still separate.
Mithra uses a cleaning algorithm customized per client to reach the accuracy procurement can actually act on, and serves millions of rows performantly while letting your team make changes against one consistent model, where homegrown tools built on standard libraries break.
Days, not quarters. Once both extracts are loaded, normalization and category re-mapping run with review by exception, and the consolidation agents begin surfacing ranked opportunities against the merged data.
A fast, trustworthy single view of spend changes the internal conversation, from fear about the merger to a shared, evidence-based plan. Atlas gives every stakeholder the same numbers on demand, which is what makes consolidation decisions land.
