Mercura

Mercura is built by Mercura ApS, a Danish private limited company in the Danish CVR register under number 37609110, with its seat in Aarhus and a start date of 13 April 2016. It also lists a regional hub in Barcelona.

The product is a CPQ platform for manufacturers of configurable products: a form builder defines product specifications, a rule builder holds the valid combinations and pricing logic, and the same model drives a front-end configurator, personalised PDF quotes and a bill of materials. The case pages name Lindab, Migatronic, AC Hydraulic and Audi.

The pricing page is concrete. Licensing starts at €40 per user per month with a minimum of five users, and the vendor shows discounts for teams of 10 and 50 or more.

Implementation is shown separately in three bands: self-guided at €0, workshop-based at €1K to €10K, and complex enterprise rollouts at €40K to €100K+. The homepage promises zero implementation fees, which only matches the self-guided band, so a buyer should budget from the pricing page and not from the homepage.

Mercura publishes more about its hosting than most vendors here. The trust centre names Hetzner in Germany and Finland for the application and AWS S3 in Frankfurt and Ireland for assets, and states that all customer data is processed and stored within the EU.

SaaS terms, a data processing agreement, an SLA and a subprocessor list are public. The company describes its own practices as ISO 27001-informed and relies on certified data centres rather than stating a certificate of its own, and it is a younger vendor than Configit, camos or encoway.

What Mercura does well

• Publishes a per-user list price, unusual in a category where most vendors quote only after a demo
• Names its hosting providers and regions and states that all customer data stays in the EU
• Public trust centre with SaaS terms, DPA, SLA and subprocessor list
• Implementation cost shown by rollout approach, from €0 self-guided to €40K to €100K+ for complex enterprise rollouts
• Danish company confirmed in the CVR register, with CVR number and address on its own pages

Where Mercura falls short

• The homepage claims zero implementation fees while the pricing page shows €1K to €10K and €40K to €100K+ bands for guided and enterprise rollouts
• No ISO 27001 certificate of its own is stated, only ISO 27001-informed practices on certified hosting
• Asset storage runs on AWS, a US-owned provider, even though the regions are in the EU
• A shorter track record than the enterprise specialists; the vendor cites seven-plus years

Standout feature. A per-user list price with implementation cost split into self-guided, workshop and enterprise bands, so a buyer can size a budget before booking a demo.
