Egypt’s OneOrder raises $16m to expand into GCC region

Cairo – Mubasher: Egyptian logistics solution company OneOrder has raised $16 million in equity and debt in a Series A funding round.

The funding is aimed at enabling the company to expand into the GCC region in autumn 2024, build up financing solutions for customers including cards, and further develop the platform, according to a press release.

The financing round is led by Delivery Hero Ventures, with participation from Norrsken22, along with Egypt-based Nclude and A15.

OneOrder is a technology-enabled supplier and wholesale distributor catering to the Egyptian hotel, restaurant, and catering (HoReCa) industries. The company raised $1 million in pre-seed in February 2022 and $3 million in a seed round in December of the same year.

Tamer Amer, CEO of OneOrder, said: “Currently, restaurants and hotels must work with hundreds of suppliers to maintain stock, receiving 10 to 20 deliveries each day which disrupts operations without eliminating shortages. Previous attempts to solve the problem have simply digitised the issue, which any ERP can do.”

“Instead, OneOrder takes a comprehensive approach to streamlining the entire supply chain, acting as a one-stop-shop by storing all the ingredients that restaurants might need in our strategically located warehouses,” Amer added.
