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

The support and communication during our implementation of Canals have been absolutely unmatched

We’ve worked through other implementations before, and none have come close to this level of responsiveness, clarity, and consistent follow-through. The open communication and regular updates made the entire process smooth and confidence-building.You are truly an outstanding team.

We're not having to learn it, it learned us

Literally for a specific customer, you use Canals once or twice and it starts to learn who is asking for the product. Now there's a lot of things I don't even have to fill out anymore because it automatically knows what to do. It's helping Kendall, the owner associates, do their job and in a more timely fashion. It really will help you be more proactive for your customers.

Canals has been working amazing

They're real experts in Eclipse and it makes a difference. For example, we just fed a 1,000 line cut order all with parallel data into Eclipse. Saved our salesman about 2 days of work.

Canals is actually driving more sales by improving our hit rate

Right now, 57% of Canals transactions turn into orders, when our average is closer to 20%. Customer satisfaction goes up because you can get to quotes you wouldn’t otherwise, and sales will grow because customers realize that when they come to you, you’re more responsive because you have a tool like Canals. You’ll see not only top-line growth, but also bottom-line growth because of the efficiencies it creates.

Regional Operations Manager

Honestly, it’s one of the smoothest transitions I’ve ever been part of

One of our automation guys had sent over a project with 100+ line items in a spreadsheet. I ran it through Canals and had it back in 20 minutes. He called me and said, ‘How is that even possible?’ That would’ve taken a CSR group all day before.

Our team loves it

The longer they're in it, the more they love it. If we ever told the team we were taking Canals away, I think we'd have mutiny on our hands. It has very quickly become a need-to-have tool in their tool belt—and not a lot of technology has that kind of impact.
