About Us
Building the intelligence
of retail operations
Norkut comes from a real operational story, not from theory.
Our foundation comes from Sigo, an organization with more than 50 years in Venezuelan retail, where for more than two decades one of the country's most robust ERPs was developed, designed and led by Orlando De León, CTO of Sigo Enterprises.
That system was not built to sell software. It was built to operate a real store network, with complexity, scale, and daily demands.
Evolution
With the Venezuelan crisis, we decided to separate the technology from the operating business and turn it into an independent company.
This is how Norkut is born.
For years, we evolved our solutions until we understood one key thing:
traditional software was no longer enough
The next step was to create a cloud platform designed specifically for retail. That’s how Melé ERP came to be.
Today, Melé has more than 12,000 active users and is present in some of the most important retail chains in Venezuela in sectors such as supermarkets, home appliances, pharmacies, cosmetics, and specialty retail.
Transformation
With the arrival of artificial intelligence, we understood that the problem was no longer just managing the operation.
It was to do it better than humans.
That's why we started building Norkut as a new platform:
more agile
completely cloud
designed to scale across multiple geographies
focused on automating decisions, not just recording data
Our early progress included:
Vectorization at the edge
Optimized models with 4-bit quantization
Multi-tenant architecture on AWS
Distributed Databases (MongoDB)
Automated infrastructure with Terraform
This allowed us to reduce latency and costs, and improve the quality of inference at the source of the operation.
Current View
Today, Norkut is evolving into something bigger:
an intelligence-driven software factory
We are integrating:
Automatic logic generation
AI-assisted development (Cursor / agents)
Integrated code pipelines (GitHub)
Continuous creation of new capabilities
