A Global Vision, Focused on the Future

This new investment round is aimed at advancing Artificial Intelligence and advanced analytics to enhance our predictive capabilities, allowing our clients to optimise costs and manage risks more effectively. It will also enable us to strengthen our presence in Europe, with expansion plans in the UK, Italy, and France through the addition of local teams and strategic partnerships. Furthermore, we will expand our international team in sales, marketing, product, and operations.

Christian Teichmann, CEO of Burda Principal Investments:

“Imperia's ability to adapt to the evolving needs of businesses and deliver increasing value at every stage of their supply chain maturity truly sets them apart in the SCM SaaS market.

Meanwhile, Luis Garay, Partner at Samaipata:

“Since our initial investment, the Imperia team has executed at an exceptionally high level, developing a modular software that is transforming supply chain management. Their rapid traction in the local market and strong validation of product-market fit in Europe make this round a key inflection point.
