Problem
Traditional commerce channels and steps remain fragmented, forcing bodegas, distributors, and financial services to operate in disconnected systems. Each actor sees only part of the commercial journey, isolated data limits decision-making, and liquidity constraints reduce conversion for distributors and brands.
Solution
Circa connects the commercial flow within WhatsApp, the channel bodegas already use, by unifying catalog, promotions, ordering, payment, confirmation, and follow-up in one conversation. The platform orchestrates financial options, including integrated working capital when available, with clear rules and validate user identity, limits, and critical decisions through traceable governance. Distributors gain visibility into demand, repurchase patterns, and operational traceability per distributor, while bodegas can browse promotions, place or repeat orders, and build a payment history from the same chat without downloading another application.
Target Audience
Primary customers are distributors and brands seeking greater coverage and conversion in traditional trade, along with small retail bodegas in Peru that need to buy, pay, and access working capital through WhatsApp.
