That’s a wonderful question. Bridging Tables, in some cases, works with importers. For roasters, we can replace or complement your relationship with importers. It’s up to you.
Our purpose and mission is to unlock market access for farmers by making the coffee supply chain more efficient and durable. This, of course, involves importing coffee to deliver to roasters but also so much more.
If you’re a roaster, you’ll have access to pre-financing for higher volumes of coffee than possible with typical small importers. You’ll also gain direct access to farmers through our platform. And we’re building the tools you need to better manage your inventory and ensure you’re receiving samples in time for the next harvest in your origin of choice. Have an idea of how we can help? Share it!
If you’re a farmer, you’ll get paid sooner and better. Bridging Tables pays farmers within days of a trade, rather than weeks. You’ll also receive a better price for your coffee by selling directly to the roaster rather than a washing station or mill. Our team will ensure your coffee gets to export facilities efficiently. We'll also do a quality test before shipment. And we’ll notify you when it arrives at its destination.
If you’re a service provider, washing station, mill, or exporter then you’ll get paid by Bridging Tables for services rendered. That means a lot less risk on your part when moving specialty coffee through the supply chain.
