SCROLL TO DISCOVER
OUR MISSION
Building a digital bridge between global product and financial companies to small vendors in emerging markets. Utilizing big data, our platform helps our partners fully understand and optimize the last mile of the supply chain ecosystem. With no capex, no warehouses and no inventory we create insights and act on them, providing loyalty, efficiency and trade finance
OUR
SOLUTION
#1 DATA
Using our data, insights and operations, we help the world’s smallest vendors see outstanding growth in just a few months of activity – and shed light on what has been an operational “black hole” to the world’s largest consumer goods companies.
Utilizing a holistic technology led platform, with a strong efficient network of shared local warehouses, we align supply and demand across the ecosystem.
#2 SALES
We utilize our data so that small vendors enjoy unprecedented sales growth based on our insights. We offer vendors direct promotions from our manufacturers which is tailored to their needs based on our data.
#3 PARTNERS
Partnerships with local wholesalers enable us to create an efficient network of regional warehouses with no capex.
Partnerships with global manufacturers enable us to significantly grow their sales and market share while they provide promotions for the vendors.
#4 CREDIT
We developed a unique AI-based credit scoring and marketing algorithm
> Small vendors can PAS (Pay After Sale)
> We partner with financial companies to offer portfolio lending, and guarantee wholesalers’ sales growth
#5 TRADE FINANCE
The &frnds technology enables us to bundle the entire value chain into a portfolio lending opportunity for financial institutions. In addition, we can provide financing to each of the small stores. The process is powered by our unique AI algorithms, which combines risk score (credit score) and propensity score. This service is already impacting tens of thousands of our users, creating efficiency and much better product prices to consumers.
