Supplier orders are spread across WhatsApp, email, phone calls, PDFs, supplier portals, and mobile apps.
Supplier network
Qevora Mercado connects hospitality businesses with local suppliers
Qevora Mercado is a free B2B supplier discovery and ordering layer for hospitality businesses and local suppliers. The principle is direct relationship: no commissions, no transaction fees, no hidden markup, and no requirement for suppliers to start with an API integration.
The procurement problem
Small producers should not need expensive integrations to receive structured B2B orders.
Hospitality buyers need order history, delivery status, albaranes, invoices, and stock linkage.
Mercado approach
Start with low-barrier supplier connection: email, WhatsApp-ready messages, and magic links.
Add supplier portal and supplier API later for mature suppliers.
Connect Mercado orders back to the Qevora operational app through receiving, documents, inventory, and costs.
Product reality
Mercado is designed as a separate public product at mercado.qevora.app.
The target model is phased: manual supplier workflows first, portal/API later.
Qevora does not become the reseller, own stock, or own logistics.
