PemPem

PemPem is a mobile, digital platform that empowers smallholder farmers and traders in key commodity supply chains to become more sustainable and profitable. We build mobile supply chain management software for micro-enterprises in rural areas, introducing practical technologies to promote sustainability and bring greater access to the value chain. Our mission is to support a transition out of the informal, cash-based economy into a digital, technology-based one that brings greater efficiency and profit to micro-enterprises, traceability to the supply chain, and sustainability to the sector.

Our solution is currently used by smallholder farmers and traders in the palm oil supply chain in Riau, Indonesia, and can be adapted to other commodities or geographies. Our product focuses on four key pillars:

Buyer-seller marketplace
Accessing finance & using digital payments
Micro-enterprise operations management
Formalization & traceability
