About

Soko is a supply chain innovation that connects mobile-enabled artisans from developing countries directly to brands, retailers, and online customers around the world. Soko, a women-owned and operated social enterprise, has developed a mobile-driven value chain that enables artisans to engage the international marketplace, even if they lack access to the Internet, a computer, or a bank account. Soko's demand-responsive fashion production is driven by a technology platform that crowdsources marginalized production talent in the developing world into an ethical and transparent “virtual factory.” This virtual factory is powered by its suite of mobile supply chain tools and distributed manufacturing methods. With their tools, talented artisans can participate in the global marketplace, becoming a driver of social and economic development in their community.
