The company launched in 2017 and is headquartered in Singapore. Its core product combines direct farm-to-merchant commerce with enterprise software tools for restaurants, cafes, and hotels. Glife plans to expand into Malaysia and Indonesia in Q1 2022 and is investing in AI and data analytics to improve its tech-enabled supply chain distribution model. The startup also intends to deepen its F&B software capabilities via a strategic investment in Novitee, an enterprise software platform for the industry.
