Our Origin

A year in
the field

Before writing a single line of code, we spent a year embedded in wholesale operations. We worked with brand and category managers, pricing analysts, and operations teams across wholesalers to understand how the work actually gets done.

We found a clear problem. Talented professionals spent most of their day in email, spreadsheets, and manual data entry, managing tools rather than focusing on higher-value work.

So we built Ranger.
