How Mango Works

From catalogue to job-site delivery — with credit underwriting happening in the background.

The end-to-end procurement workflow

Mango replaces four separate processes — supplier sourcing, price negotiation, credit application, and logistics — with a single platform.

01

Create a Project

Open the Mango web app or mobile app, enter your project name, site address (geolocation-verified), and estimated material budget. This anchors all future orders to a single project cost center.

Projects can be residential, commercial, infrastructure, or renovation. Each type unlocks a different credit limit band based on Mango's underwriting model.

02

Build a Material List

Search the 40,000+ SKU catalogue by trade (structural, MEP, finishes, landscaping) or scan a competitor's quote to import line items automatically. Mango matches each item to the cheapest verified supplier within delivery range.

Quantities update in real time as you edit. Total cost, VAT breakdown, and estimated delivery date are shown before you commit.

03

Apply for Trade Credit

At checkout, choose 30, 60, or 90-day net terms. Mango runs underwriting using permit data from SEDUVI, your project history on the platform, and supplier payment records. No credit bureau hard pull for orders under MXN 200,000.

Decisions are returned via push notification and email. Most orders get a response within 4 hours during business days.

04

Track Delivery

Mango coordinates across suppliers and consolidates where possible into fewer truck trips. You receive a live tracking link for each delivery, plus SMS updates at dispatch and 30 minutes before arrival.

Delivery windows are 07:00-14:00 or 14:00-19:00, six days a week. Saturday delivery available in all Mexico City boroughs at no surcharge.

05

Confirm & Pay

The site foreman signs off on delivery via the app. Any damaged or missing items are logged and credited within 24 hours. Your invoice becomes due at the agreed net-term date.

Payment via SPEI, bank transfer, or card. Auto-pay available. On-time payment builds your credit score on the platform, unlocking higher limits and longer terms over time.

What the platform can do

Smart Catalogue Search

Full-text and category search across 40,000 SKUs. Filter by brand, grade, packaging size, and supplier certification (ONNCCE, NMX). Bulk price tiers show automatically when quantity exceeds threshold.

Photo-to-search: point your phone camera at any material on site and Mango identifies the product and shows in-stock alternatives.

Underwriting Engine

Mango's credit model combines 14 signals: project permit status, site value estimate, contractor tax history (SAT), Buró de Crédito score (soft pull only), and on-platform payment track record.

The model runs in under 90 seconds for orders below MXN 500,000. Larger lines go to manual review by the credit team within 4 business hours.

Supplier Network API

Mango integrates with suppliers via a REST API that syncs inventory levels every 15 minutes. Suppliers with EDI connections update in real time. Out-of-stock items are automatically substituted with equivalents unless you opt out.

Supplier onboarding takes 3 business days including quality audit and platform integration setup.

Project Cost Reporting

Every order is tagged to a project and trade category. The dashboard shows spend-to-budget variance, cost-per-square-meter, and supplier concentration. Export to CSV or connect via REST API to QuickBooks, SAP, or any accounting tool.

Reports are available in real time, not end-of-month batch — so you can catch cost overruns before they compound.

Logistics Management

Mango's logistics layer consolidates multi-supplier orders onto fewer trucks where routes overlap. This cuts average cost-per-delivery by 18% compared to ordering direct from each supplier.

For large pours (20+ tons of concrete or rebar), Mango schedules a dedicated logistics coordinator who calls your foreman the day before.

Data Security & Compliance

All financial and project data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Mango is registered with CONDUSEF as a SOFOM ENR, subject to CNBV oversight for its credit products.

Data stored in AWS ap-southeast-1 (Mexico-region) in compliance with Mexico's Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data.
