For cafés & suppliers

Wholesale coffee shouldn't run on email.

Nomien shows suppliers which cafés are already looking for their next product, then gives both sides one place to discover, order, supply, and stay in sync.

The problem

Every order is a thread you have to chase.

Prices, stock, deliveries, remittances, scattered across replies, forwards and attachments. And when it's time to grow, it's cold emails and Instagram DMs that nobody answers.

Nomien replaces the chase.
One shared record for every order, and real demand instead of cold outreach.

Get found

Cafés tell Nomien what they're looking for. You get there first.

No more cold outreach. Cafés post what they need, browse nearby suppliers, and discover new roasters. You see real demand from real trade buyers and respond when the opportunity is right.

Smart matching coming soon

Who it's for

One workspace, both sides of the counter.

Cafés and suppliers work from the same source of trut. A request on one side lands as a clear opportunity on the other.

For roasters

Turn café interest into repeat wholesale revenue

Get discovered by cafés actively looking for their next supplier, convert that interest into first orders, and keep accounts ordering without adding more admin.

  • Get found by trade buyers already searching no cold outreach
  • Turn enquiries into first orders, and first orders into regular accounts
  • Spot quiet accounts and promote new coffees to cafés already buying
Your accounts, your rules

Grow your wholesale network without losing control of your customer relationships.

Nomien isn't a marketplace that reduces you to a row in a price comparison. You approve who becomes a trade customer, control who sees your pricing, set your own minimums and delivery areas, and present your brand the way it deserves. Your relationships stay yours.

  • Approve every trade buyer yourself
  • Control who sees your pricing
  • Set your own minimums and delivery areas
  • Your brand, presented properly never a list item
How it works

From need to know-how, in three steps.

Nomien keeps the model deliberately simple intent, action, then the intelligence that builds up as you use it.

Surface

Cafés post what they're looking for; suppliers show what they've got. Demand and supply land where the other side will actually see them.

02

Exchange

From sample request to first order to invoice confirmed in one shared record. No chasing, no "did that go through?"

03

Compound

Every exchange teaches Nomien your rhythm: it prompts the next reorder, flags quiet accounts, and surfaces the right match before you ask.

Why Nomien

It gets sharper every order.

The more you trade through Nomien, the better it reads your patterns quietly turning routine activity into decisions worth making.

Early network

Built alongside our design partners.

We're building Nomien hand-in-hand with the people who'll use it: founding suppliers Lucky No 7 Coffee, Canton Tea and Rogues — and 25 independent cafés shaping the buyer side of the network.

Day to day

Practical wins, every week.

One thread per supplier

Every order, update and invoice for a supplier lives in one place — not scattered across months of email.

No more "which email was that in?"

Always know what to order

Par levels and usage are watched for you, so the next order is half-written before you sit down to place it.

Par levels watched for you.

Read demand across your network

Patterns across customers and origins surface early, so you can plan roasting and buying instead of reacting to it.

Spot the next order before it's urgent.
