Solution Engineer, Choco

Choco isn't the only company to notice the potential for disruption in this space, but it has taken a unique approach by providing bespoke inventory applications and analytical tools to both restaurants and suppliers. Because of this, it has a large and rapidly growing userbase and its supply chain now links more than 31,000 businesses globally, with more than £1.2 billion in goods traded on its platform.

It's also raised large amounts of capital in several funding rounds and achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. It now has eyes on expansion, currently working with clients across the U.S. and Europe but also planning to begin operations in South America, the Middle East, and Asia in the near future.
