Our Team

The Canals team combines the world’s top tech talent with deep industry expertise. Founded by two experienced startup operators, we’re a profitable, bootstrapped company that proudly remains 90% employee owned

Michael Delgado

Co-Founder & CEO

The industrial world runs on inconsistent data, limited standardization, and fragmented paperwork that breaks traditional software. AI can be a powerful solution, but in complex industries, its impact depends on how well it’s translated into real workflows.

At Canals, we build technology grounded in how our customers actually operate. We invest time learning the details of their day-to-day, understanding where their current systems fail, and designing solutions that empower them to do their best work. We treat every user insight as a blueprint for the next iteration, and we are always iterating.

Our goal is to make AI work across the industrial supply chain, solve real problems for our users, and keep materials moving.

Erez Arnon

Co-Founder & CTO

In our daily lives we’re used to software that just works, products like Google, Instagram, and Uber. When I first came into the world of distribution, I was surprised to find the standard for software was very different.

At Canals, we’ve built a team of engineers and product leaders who’ve spent their careers at world-class technology companies being held to world-class standards.

We’re excited to give distributors a product they love, one that just works.

The secret to our success is our customers’ success

There’s a significant, measurable time saving

After implementation I recorded the time it was taking our AP team to process statements. If the statement resolves automatically, it’s done in a matter of seconds. Now it’s just about managing the ones with problems, about four or five in a hundred statements. So there's a significant, measurable time saving.

Canals is like a cheat code

I've won jobs just because I've gotten the quote back before anybody else. Customers appreciate a quick turnaround–they ask how quickly I can have a quote back to them, and I can say, "Give me a few minutes."

Very straightforward implementation made even easier by your great people

I don't usually get to say that I enjoyed implementation, but there's a first time for everything.

Canals is a win

Canals has opened up so much more time to be able to get to other work. It has saved a person seven hours a day keying invoices. It's a win.
