AI-powered sales intelligence platform for wholesale distribution.
About Plato
Plato (DM Technologies GmbH) is a Berlin AI software company founded in 2023 by Benedikt Nolte (CEO), Matthias Heinrich (CPO) and Oliver Birch (CTO) that builds an AI-native operating system for wholesale distributors. The SaaS platform connects to legacy ERPs such as SAP and runs sales intelligence and workflow automation — surfacing upsell/cross-sell and churn risk, drafting quotes and orders, and cutting manual ERP work for B2B wholesalers with large SKU catalogues. Plato reports early six-figure ACV contracts with major European distributors. After a $6.5 million pre-seed led by Cherry Ventures (Nov 2024), in February 2026 it raised a $14.5 million seed led by Atomico with Cherry Ventures, Discovery Ventures and D11Z to expand into customer service and procurement and scale internationally.
