Overview

Cerve Global Ltd builds a digital platform for the food and beverage supply chain. It offers an API-driven infrastructure that lets manufacturers, wholesalers, caterers, and retailers connect their systems, share data, and coordinate orders across their networks. The platform is accessed via subscriptions, with additional revenue from implementation and professional services to tailor the setup for each client. Buyers and suppliers use it to manage operations across multiple channels (omnichannel) and integrate their existing tools through the API. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, Cerve works with each client to customize workflows and integrations, helping reduce costs and waste by improving collaboration and visibility across the supply chain. The company's goal is to cut food waste and boost sustainability by making the supply chain more efficient and data-connected, with many partners in the UK and Nordic regions.
