Amsterdam based DolphinA fintech startup, automatically, has raised € 1.5 million pre-marks from Tech Investor Pick to automatically the international wholesale market-launching their joint purchase platform this week.
“The global distribution of the consumer electronics is fragmented, inefficient and largely opaque. With Delphio we are creating an automatic platform that uses data directly from the distributors and open market to the source. We take care of the process – and therefore most risk care,”. Say Roy ErdmanDelfio co-founder and CEO.
Established in 2025 by Roy Erdman and Keihan Popal, Delphio is led by a group of ripe businesses and technology experts that are aimed at converting the global distribution of consumer electronics.
Delphio is a data-driven procurement platform that organizes a combined purchase for professional buyers across Europe. Combining the demand from multiple buyers, Delphio creates joint purchasing power, resulting in a more competitive offer from the broad network of trusted suppliers.
Their platform flows the entire process – logistic and payment from sourcing and quality control – so that customers need to work with only a reliable partner.
According to Delfo, the price of the global collection market for consumer electronics is € 837.4 billion, but most of this trade flows through manufacturers-manipulated importers. Retailers are often tied to prices prescribed by these local importers or need to find the gray market independently to discuss better deals.
This is the gray market – where the currency fluctuations and surplus inventory often determine the sharp price – but it comes with significant challenges. Retailers need to contact various types of traders who must first be approved as a supplier. The terms of supply by the party vary and the processes are widely different for the assurance of warranty and quality.
When conducting the collection process in all means through Delphio supplies, it seems that the retailers and suppliers seem to remove the interests of both retailers and suppliers by integrating the purchase order for better price negotiations. The platform was launched this week but the founders created the market experience year after year.
“Delphio adds a basic problem in the market for several hundred billion dollars. Their automation, data-driven decision-making and focus on reliability are uniquely in order to convert their market to this market. Say David JawazmakerPartner at the top.
To secure better prices through volume, Delphio combines tenders from retailers and does this with 35,000 suppliers of brands like Apple, Samsung and JBL. The company operates hubs in the United States, Dubai, Hong Kong and Amsterdam to conduct the collection process. Orders are provided in these hubs from the monitored suppliers, where their amount, serial number and quality are checked before sending to the buyer.
Delphio also confirm that the retailers have financial resources to meet the purchase requirements that confirm that the orders were met in accordance with their terms and conditions. Suppliers, instead, are guaranteed by Delphio within 48 hours.
