Melonn

Carrera 28 17 - 452 Km 5 Via Las Palmas Ed Cortezza, Medellin, Antioquia, 050022, Colombia

Overview

Melonn builds tech and fulfillment infrastructure to enable small and medium e-commerce merchants to sell across multiple channels and deliver across the region. Its proprietary platform automates onboarding, connects channels like Shopify, Instagram and Amazon, and manages picking, packing, delivery and returns while integrating with carriers such as FedEx, DHL and last-mile partners. The company has launched five distribution centers across three Colombian cities and one in Mexico City, employs about 190 people (90 full-time, 100 contractors), and serves more than 300 brands. Operationally it has fulfilled close to 500,000 items to date (over 100,000 in December) and reported January fulfillment up 20% versus November 2021; management projects roughly 6 million items fulfilled in 2022. Melonn plans to expand its urban fulfillment network to offer same/next-day delivery in more cities, grow its tech, product and commercial teams, and introduce embedded finance products. The model is compared to Deliverr and ShipBob, positioning Melonn as a backend e-commerce enabler across LatAm.
