What Sary does

Sary is a Saudi Arabia-based B2B e-commerce marketplace founded in 2016 that connects micro, small, and medium enterprise retailers with wholesale suppliers. The platform serves two primary customer segments — supermarkets and grocery stores, and HORECA businesses (hotels, restaurants, and cafes) — offering access to more than 30,000 products from 2,000+ brands across 50+ categories with next-day delivery and a same-day option for urgent orders. As of available reporting, Sary serves 60,000+ retail customers and processes 4,000+ daily orders, with 5,000+ HORECA accounts and 5,000 POS users. The company's product portfolio consists of three integrated offerings: the core Sary B2B marketplace accessible via iOS/Android apps and a web portal; Mowaridi, a supplier-facing portal for wholesalers to onboard, list products, and manage orders; and the Sary POS system, an inventory management and point-of-sale module that automatically reorders from Sary suppliers when stock is low and syncs deliveries on arrival.

Sary monetizes primarily through marketplace commissions on transactions between wholesale brands and MSME buyers, supplemented by embedded finance revenue from a buy-now-pay-later product that provides up to 30-day payment terms post-delivery (with 100 million SAR facilitated to date). The platform uses a freemium model with free registration, free delivery above 200 SAR, and pay-as-you-go billing. Distribution is product-led and self-serve through app stores and the web, with marketing concentrated on social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X), content marketing via the Sary blog, and referral-driven word-of-mouth from existing customers. The company has raised $112 million in total venture funding through a Series C led by Sanabil Investments in December 2021, and in April 2025 merged with Bangladesh-based ShopUp to form SILQ Group, backed by an additional $110 million investment, creating a combined platform serving 600,000+ retailers and $5 billion in transactions across Gulf and South Asia.

Core offering

Sary operates a digital B2B marketplace that connects small and medium retailers — primarily in the HORECA (hotels, restaurants, cafes) and grocery retail segments — with wholesale brands and suppliers in Saudi Arabia. The platform lists over 30,000 products from more than 2,000 brands across 50+ categories, offering next-day delivery, free delivery for orders above 200 SAR, and up to 30-day payment terms. Sary also provides an integrated point-of-sale (POS) system with automated inventory replenishment and embedded buy-now-pay-later financing.

Product overview

Sary operates as a B2B e-commerce platform consisting of three integrated offerings: (1) the Sary B2B Marketplace — a digital platform connecting MSME retailers (supermarkets, HORECA, SMEs) with wholesale suppliers, offering over 30,000 products from 2,000+ brands with next-day delivery and flexible payment terms of up to 30 days; (2) Mowaridi — the supplier-facing portal that enables wholesalers to onboard and manage their product listings and orders; and (3) the Sary POS System — an inventory management and point-of-sale module that automatically reorders from Sary suppliers when stock is low and integrates with the marketplace. Together, these products form an end-to-end procurement, supply chain, and inventory management ecosystem for the HORECA and retail trade in Saudi Arabia and the broader GCC.

Direct peers

• NinjaCart: NinjaCart is an India-based B2B fresh produce and grocery supply chain platform connecting farmers and brands with retailers and HORECA buyers. It overlaps with Sary's HORECA supply and embedded distribution focus, particularly around next-day delivery economics in fragmented fresh supply chains.
• MaxAB: MaxAB is a B2B e-commerce platform connecting HORECA and grocery retailers with wholesalers across Egypt and the broader MENA region. It is the most direct head-to-head competitor to Sary, with a comparable two-sided marketplace model, embedded financing, and similar SMB target segment.
• Tradeling: Tradeling is a UAE-based B2B e-commerce marketplace serving the MENA region with a broad assortment of goods targeted at businesses and government buyers. It directly overlaps with Sary's horizontal B2B wholesale proposition and pursues similar SMB procurement, embedded finance, and logistics services.
• Udaan: Udaan is an India-based B2B commerce platform connecting manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers across multiple categories including FMCG and HORECA. It is structurally analogous to Sary in its two-sided marketplace design, embedded credit, and tier-2/3 city MSME focus, making it a useful international peer benchmark.

Broad incumbents

• Alibaba.com: Alibaba.com is the world's largest horizontal B2B marketplace, offering global wholesale sourcing across virtually every category. While not localized in Saudi Arabia, it competes for cross-border wholesale procurement that Saudi MSMEs could otherwise fulfill through Sary, and is the canonical reference marketplace model.
• Amazon Business: Amazon Business extends Amazon's marketplace into B2B procurement for organizations of all sizes, including SMBs in MENA through cross-border shipping. It is a broad incumbent against which Sary must differentiate on local assortment, Arabic UX, BNPL terms, and next-day logistics.
• Metro Cash & Carry: Metro AG operates cash-and-carry wholesale outlets serving HORECA and independent retailers across MENAP, including Saudi Arabia. It competes with Sary on the physical wholesale supply side and represents the traditional incumbent model Sary is digitally disrupting.
• noon: noon is a leading consumer and B2B e-commerce platform across the Middle East with significant Saudi operations. While primarily B2C, noon's logistics infrastructure, supplier base, and Saudi brand presence make it a relevant broad incumbent that could expand into B2B procurement in Sary's core market.

Emerging players

• Foodics: Foodics is a Saudi-based restaurant and HORECA cloud POS and operations platform serving thousands of restaurants across MENAP. It overlaps with Sary's POS module and shares the same HORECA buyer persona, making it both a potential integration partner and a competitor in the restaurant back-office stack.
• Zid: Zid is a Saudi-based e-commerce enablement platform helping SMEs launch online storefronts. While more focused on consumer-facing retail tooling than wholesale supply, Zid targets the same Saudi SMB segment and represents an adjacent SaaS marketplace play competing for the same merchants' wallet share.
