Specialty chemicals distribution platform across Africa
SOLEVO operates a specialty chemicals distribution network across Africa, anchored on Azure infrastructure and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for supply chain and financial operations. The hiring profile is aggressively sales-driven (26 of 44 roles) with minimal engineering capacity (4 roles), reflecting a go-to-market operation scaling distribution coverage rather than product engineering. Active projects center on commercial execution—salesforce effectiveness, pricing, digital commercialization—while pain points cluster around data quality for real-time decisions and integrating acquired companies, suggesting rapid M&A activity and legacy system consolidation challenges.
