KaryonFood, founded in 2019 by Claire Guillet and Florian Ribeiro, operates as a data management platform tailored for the food processing industry. The company, headquartered in Dijon, France, initially focused on product transparency via QR codes before pivoting to its current model. This strategic shift was reportedly inspired by an incident involving a local jam producer struggling with sales in a supermarket due to pricing misalignment, highlighting a critical information gap between suppliers and distributors.
The firm's core offering is a B2B Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that aggregates, standardizes, and analyzes sales data from multiple retail and food service distributors. It serves food processing companies of all sizes, from very small enterprises to large corporations, helping them monitor the sales performance of their products in stores and warehouses. By providing unified dashboards, the platform enables clients like Category Managers and sales teams to track key metrics such as sales volumes by product and location, and to analyze market share. This allows them to identify underperforming products, optimize promotional strategies, and prepare more effectively for meetings with distributors.
KaryonFood's business model is based on subscriptions to its platform. The technology is designed to centralize sell-out data from various distributors, which is often disparate and difficult to manage, into a single, intuitive interface. It also incorporates intelligent algorithms to alert users to potential risks and opportunities. The company has successfully raised capital to support its growth, securing €1.3 million in a seed funding round in 2024, with investors including Finovam Gestion, Tudigo, Bpifrance, and Inovexus Ventures.
