PemPem stands for Pemasok-Pembeli, supplier-buyer in Bahasa Indonesia

Our mission is to support a transition out of the informal, cash-based economy into a digital, cashless and technology-based one bringing greater efficiency and profit to the value chain, traceability to the supply chain, and sustainability to the sector.

​

4 out of 5 companies are informal micro-enterprises. 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. They do not have access to digital tools and organizational structures that help organizations thrive in today’s world. This comes with many downstream consequences, including lack of financial inclusion, missed economic opportunities, human rights abuses, a growing digital divide, and no supply chain transparency.

PemPem aims to bridge these gaps through the tools it develops, creating better opportunities for farmers while supporting sustainable practices.
