Avify

Avify is the best platform that takes the D2C model to the next level. Due to Pandemic, sales through social media and E-commerce channels in Latin America, increased almost 40%, and business owners have to manage multiple sales channels everyday like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, their own E-commerce, Mercado Libre, Etsy, Amazon and more, causinga huge problem with inventories that are not synchronized and jumping from one channel to the other answering questions, printing shipping labels and is so hard to grow the business when all this job is manual. That's why we created Avify, the Centralized Backoffice for E-commerce in Latin America. Our customers can save a lot of hours per week doing manual tasks and invest that time growing the business and acquiring more clients. Avify provides an agnostic layer where our customers integrate any delivery service, payment gateway or invoicing tool, creating a powerful workflow to take the business to the next level of automation. | $800K / Pre-Seed / Dec 07, 2023 | |
