SAN FRANCISCO — In a major development for the global retail technology sector, digital grocery operating platform Vori has successfully finalized a $22 million capital funding round. The fresh injection of institutional cash will scale up the infrastructure necessary to digitize highly fragmented independent grocery supply chains. Vori’s specialized software connects independent supermarkets directly with hundreds of regional and international suppliers, replacing antiquated paper-and-pen ordering systems with automated, data-driven inventory replenishment. Venture capital interest underscores a broader international shift toward tech-enabled, highly resilient localized grocery distribution networks.
