Offline-first inventory and point-of-sale software for 100,000+ stores still running on paper notebooks.

of POS failures caused by no internet
Latin America's construction supply chain is a $1.78 trillion market running on paper notebooks, mental math, and gut feeling. Every morning, store owners across Mexico open their cuadernos and start writing: product names, quantities, prices, customer debts — all by hand. 100,000 hardware stores managing 20,000+ SKUs each. The few digital solutions available fail 70% of the time because they weren't built for the reality of intermittent connectivity.

If it's slower than writing in a paper notebook, the design has failed. That's our benchmark.
Works fully offline. Syncs automatically when connected. Your store keeps selling no matter what.
Sell cement by the kg, cable by the meter, screws by the box — 20,000+ products with the units your customers actually use.
Real-time inventory and sales across every location. Know what's selling where without calling each store.
Your customers already use WhatsApp. Now they can request quotes and place orders without leaving it.
The leading POS in Mexico has a 2.1/5 rating on Trustpilot. There's a reason.
Mexico reached 78% smartphone adoption. For the first time, every store owner has the hardware to run modern software.
CoDi, SPEI, and fintech regulation are creating infrastructure that didn't exist 3 years ago. The rails are ready.
LATAM construction spending projected to grow 4.2% annually through 2030. More stores, more SKUs, more complexity.
We're not building a POS. We're building the infrastructure layer that connects and powers the entire construction supply chain in Latin America.
Multi-location management, offline-first, built for 20K+ SKUs with complex units of measurement.
SAT-compliant electronic invoicing built in. Because no serious store in Mexico can operate without it.
Digital credit lines, payment tracking, and financing tools built for how hardware stores actually sell.
Connect stores with distributors. Better prices, less friction, last-mile delivery.
I grew up in my family's hardware store in Mexico. 10 years working every area — sales, inventory, purchasing, logistics. I know what it's like to count 20,000 products by hand. Then I became a software engineer at Microsoft. I built Nemi because I know these problems firsthand — and I know technology can solve them.
Stores in production
SKUs managed
Domain experience
Real transactions
Dogfooding with our family's 3-store operation. Real transactions, real inventory, real employees using it every day.
"I leave Microsoft when we hit 10 paying customers. Not when we raise money — when we prove value."
Not market research — lived experience. Sales, inventory, purchasing, logistics, customer credit. Every SKU counted by hand, every supplier negotiated face-to-face.
Enterprise-grade software discipline applied to an underserved market. The technical bar that competitors can't match with outsourced development.
Not a prototype, not a demo — a production system processing real transactions daily, stress-tested by the people it was built for.
Offline-first opens the door. But every store we onboard feeds a supply chain intelligence layer — pricing, demand, inventory across the network. The moat deepens with every customer.
Monthly subscription. No hidden fees. No per-transaction charges.

~$55 USD/month. Custom plans for multi-location chains.
Yes. We're dogfooding with our own 3-store, 20,000+ SKU operation. Real transactions, real employees, real pain points discovered daily. We're building a waitlist for external stores — we ship when the product is ready, not when we need metrics.
I leave Microsoft when we hit 10 paying customers. That's my trigger — not funding, not a TechCrunch article. YC accelerates the timeline, but the commitment is unconditional.
A single hardware store manages 20,000+ SKUs sold in 6 different units — kg, meters, liters, pieces, boxes, pairs. Sicar has a 2.1/5 on Trustpilot. Odoo requires consultants. 70% of POS failures in Mexico are connectivity-related. You need domain expertise to build for this market. I have 10 years of it.
Offline-first gets us in the door. The network — connecting stores, suppliers, logistics, and financing across Latin America — is the moat. Every store we onboard makes the network more valuable for everyone.
100,000 hardware stores in Mexico, 65% with no software. $1.78T construction supply chain in LATAM. This isn't a small market — it's an ignored one. The biggest opportunities are where nobody's looking.
They don't want software — they want to stop losing money. Miscounted inventory, forgotten debts, pricing mistakes. We don't sell 'technology'. We sell fewer losses, faster sales, and visibility across stores. The paper notebook can't do that.
It's in active development. Every serious business in Mexico needs SAT-compliant invoicing. We're building it natively into the POS — not as an afterthought, but as a core feature.
