The move follows a run of industry recognition for the platform. According to RheinBrücke, Gartner included MeRLIN in its 2026 Market Guide for Sourcing Applications after previously naming it in the Gartner Manufacturing Context Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites in September 2025.

RheinBrücke, which has operated in the Middle East for more than a decade, is positioning the expansion as a way to bring globally recognised procurement technology to a regional client base it already serves in enterprise systems and digital transformation work.
