Company

Incorporated in 2000, Mercato has grown its business exponentially, employing a growing mix of world-beating specialist developers, web designers, content managers, project managers and senior sales consultants located in Birmingham, Manchester and Calcutta.

Mercato has been born from a group of business leaders with a shared passion for best practice and delivery on the bottom line.

Fundamentally, Mercato takes complex problems and solves them with a variable mix of data and algorithms before surfacing the solution into an end user experience or ‘tool’. Life begins when data is treated as a first class citizen and tools are applied to that data to unlock the intelligence within.

It is the ubiquitous and powerful combination of Data and Tools that has unlocked a thirst for supporting organisations to do more, better and faster, through relentless transaction automation. This reduces duplication of effort and releases employee time that can be better deployed in higher-value processes that require human intelligence.

The business has considerable credentials and global acknowledgements in technology, development and project management.

Mercato is a multi-million pound concern that facilitates transformation across a variety of private and public sector organisations right through to global brands operating within hugely volatile world-wide supply chains.
