Imperia, a Valencia-based SaaS platform transforming supply chain management, has successfully closed a Series A funding round in order to scale its team internationally across sales, marketing, product, and operations.
The funding round was Co-led by Burda Principal Investments and Samaipata, with participation from Acurio Ventures and Draper B1.
Álvaro Bernabé, CEO and Co-Founder of Imperia, commented: “During our time as technology consultants, José and I witnessed how many businesses were held back by outdated and manual supply chain processes. Together with Sergio, we founded Imperia to make supply chain digitalization tools accessible to all companies, helping them stay agile, profitable, and prepared for any challenge.”
Founded in 2019 in Valencia by Álvaro Bernabé, Sergio Alemany, and José Tomás Carrascoso, Imperia is innovating supply chain management with smart and efficient solutions for companies of all sizes. Imperia’s modular SaaS platform optimises demand planning, purchasing, and production, aiming to make them faster, more accurate, and easier to adopt.
Imperia has developed a comprehensive solution that helps businesses accurately forecast demand, streamline procurement processes, and optimise production planning. Companies such as ArmRest, Noel Alimentaria, Siemens Energy, and Faes Farma already trust Imperia to enhance their operational efficiency and make data-driven decisions.
With a team of over 60 employees, Imperia will use these funds to accelerate growth in three key areas.
- The company will continue investing in AI and advanced analytics, enhancing its predictive capabilities to help clients optimise costs and manage risks more effectively.
- It will also strengthen its presence in Europe, with plans to expand into the United Kingdom, Italy, and France by building local teams and establishing strategic partnerships.
- Additionally, it will scale its international team across sales, marketing, product, and operations.
Christian Teichmann, CEO of Burda Principal Investments, stated: “Imperia’s ability to adapt to the evolving needs of businesses and deliver increasing value at every stage of their supply chain maturity truly sets them apart in the SCM SaaS market. We are impressed by their disciplined growth trajectory and outstanding client feedback, and we are excited to support the team as they expand their reach across Europe and beyond.”
Similarly, Luis Garay, Partner at Samaipata, noted: “Since our initial investment, the Imperia team has executed at an exceptionally high level, developing a modular software that is transforming supply chain management. Their rapid traction in the local market and strong validation of product-market fit in Europe make this round a key inflection point. We are very proud to continue supporting Imperia in its international expansion and its establishment as a benchmark in the sector.”
With this funding round, Imperia takes a step towards consolidating its ambition to become a leader in supply chain digitalisation. Thanks to its flexible solution and ambitious growth strategy, Imperia is positioning itself as a key player in the industry, helping businesses across Europe optimise their operations and strengthen their competitiveness in an ever-evolving market.
