Suplyd is Digitizing Egypt's Restaurant Supply Chain, Driving Efficiency and Growth

Suplyd (سبلايد) is one of the most prominent Egyptian startups operating in the Supply Chain Tech sector. They've developed a digital platform specifically designed to digitize the purchasing and supply of restaurant essentials, aiming to solve the traditional challenges faced by Egypt's hospitality and food sector. The company was founded in Cairo in 2022 by Gawhar Said (Co-founder & CEO), Karim Selima (Co-founder & Chief Product Officer), and Ahmed El Mahdy (Co-founder). Their goal is to build a digital platform that directly connects restaurants with suppliers, simplifying procurement and boosting supply chain efficiency. Suplyd offers a unified platform that allows restaurants, hotels, and cafes (HORECA) to purchase their needs from suppliers through a single digital interface. This replaces traditional methods like phone calls or dealing with numerous intermediaries. The platform provides a suite of services, including procurement management, price comparison, order tracking, inventory management, and real-time purchase data analysis. This helps restaurant owners cut costs, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency. The company focuses on digitizing the supply chain market for the HORECA sector in Egypt, a market valued at over $10 billion. This sector traditionally suffers from challenges like fragmented suppliers, lack of transparency, delayed deliveries, and high operational costs. Through its platform, Suplyd aims to build a more efficient and sustainable ecosystem, relying on data and direct connections between restaurants and suppliers.
