Choco isn't the only company to notice the potential for disruption in this space, but it has taken a unique approach by providing bespoke inventory applications and analytical tools to both restaurants and suppliers. It has a large and rapidly growing userbase and its supply chain now links more than 30,000 businesses, with more than £1.2 billion in goods traded on its platform.

Having raised large amounts of capital in several funding rounds and achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion, Choco has its eyes on expansion. It currently works with clients across the U.S. and Europe but plans to begin operations in South America, the Middle East, and Asia in the near future.
