CPG distributor across Colombia with 100+ years in mass-market retail
Meico is a Colombian wholesale and distribution company founded in 1922, operating across the Caribbean coast, Antioquia, eastern, and central regions. The tech stack is frontend-heavy (React, React Native, Swift, Kotlin) with Python/FastAPI on the backend—a shape consistent with mobile-first field operations and web tools for sales teams. Hiring is heavily skewed toward sales (91 roles) with minimal engineering (4 roles), reflecting a sales-and-logistics-led operation rather than a technology-first company.
Meico distributes and markets leading consumer packaged goods brands—food, beverages, home goods, and hardware—across Colombia's major regions. The company serves over 40,000 customers nationally and operates its own portfolio of proprietary brands alongside third-party lines. Current focus spans commercial expansion, independent supermarket channels in central zones, inventory optimization, and product display strategy. Challenges cluster around inventory control, customer acquisition, sales-target execution, and receivables management.
React, React Native, Swift, Kotlin for mobile and web frontends; Python and FastAPI for backend services; also uses Edge, HTML5, CSS, and Excel for operations.
