In terms of cost savings, quality, and delivery time, Qogita's algorithm-based allocation method matches buyers' carts to the ideal pair of sellers—a match that is impossible to achieve manually.

Manolis Manassakis, CEO at Qogita, said: “In an era when everyone is used to ordering goods and services from a meal to a car ride at the push of a button, it is unacceptable how difficult wholesale buying can be for small and medium-sized businesses. Qogita was founded with a mission to transform procurement and provide the buying power and privileges of a global chain to every ambitious e-commerce platform or mid-sized store.Over the past two years, we’ve been quietly building in service of our buyer and seller customers, and have made great strides so far, but there is of course, still more work to be done. We’re delighted to be working with an elite group of visionary investors to revolutionise wholesale procurement.”

Participating in the round were prior investors Accel, the lead for Series A, and LocalGlobe and Bessemer Venture Partners, the leads for Seed.
