Plato is a Berlin-based software startup building an AI operating system that unlocks and structures data trapped in legacy ERP systems for wholesale distributors. Its platform automates core workflows across sales, quoting and internal communication, allowing sales teams to identify customer risks and opportunities proactively while eliminating repetitive order-handling tasks. Key features include AI-driven sales intelligence and industry-specific tools for wholesalers managing large, complex product portfolios. The company was founded by Benedikt Nolte, Matthias Heinrich Morales and Oliver Birch after experiencing distribution-sector pain points firsthand. Plato has already signed several large European distribution companies, each with six-figure average contract values, indicating strong initial commercial traction. With fresh capital, the team plans to extend the product into customer service and procurement modules and to scale internationally.
