What Ritter Dragon does

Ritter Dragon is a Mexico-based B2B AI/ML supply chain solutions company founded in 2002 and headquartered at Monte Athos 505, Mexico City. The company builds and operates a unified machine learning platform that automates purchasing and supply chain decisions for enterprise retailers and manufacturers, comprising four core modules: Demand Forecasting, Inventory Optimization, Truck Management Algorithms, and Purchase Orders Automation. The platform is supplemented by pre-trained AI model libraries organized both by product category (Fashion, Medical Products, Motorcycles, Dairy, Dry Goods, Major Appliances, Perishable Items, Furniture) and by retail sector format (specialty retail, pharmacies, online stores, manufacturing, supermarkets, textiles, restaurant chains, wholesalers), designed to accelerate deployment time-to-value for new clients.

The company serves a roster of large Mexican enterprise customers including Elektra, SEARS Mexico, Sanborns, Petco, Marti, Marzam, Scappino, La Marina, and Tiendas Neto, and has articulated a Latin American regional ambition beyond Mexico. In addition to software licensing, Ritter Dragon offers a Managed Services line under which it operates the AI supply chain end-to-end for clients, covering data flow management, process automation, AI model operation, demand planning, supply chain design, and ROI measurement. This managed offering targets enterprises that prefer to avoid setting up complex ML projects or hiring specialized staff.

Go-to-market is enterprise-focused and consultative, driven through direct sales with demo-request capture on the website. Revenue mechanics appear to blend SaaS/subscription licensing with managed services engagements, although pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates with 51-100 employees, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and presents itself as a focused regional AI supply chain specialist for Latin American retail and manufacturing enterprises.
