Company
Alima
Fresh procurement made easy
We built a supply chain platform that helps businesses like restaurants, CPG brands, and retailers in Latin America plan their fresh product orders, place buying orders, manage expenses, and handle logistics. Our product simplifies a fragmented and manual buying process for fresh goods in a region that lacks good digital supply chain tools.
We live and build the company in Mexico City, and after YC we will remain based here to keep close to our customers and market.
Mexico City is at the center of the Latin American fresh goods supply chain and where our users - restaurants, retailers, and brands - are. Staying here means direct connection to the problems and faster iteration.
