Pempem

60% of the global working population is employed informally and 4 out of 5 companies in the world are informal businesses. These businesses still largely operate based on word-of-mouth information, using either personal memory or pen & paper as their only records. At PemPem, we build mobile-based, socially embedded business-to-business tools for the informal economy. Our mission is to support a transition out of the informal, cash-based economy into a digital, technology-based one that brings greater efficiency and profit to informal businesses, traceability to the supply chain, and sustainability to the sector. We have offices in Montréal and Indonesia. Our current tools are deployed in Indonesia.
