Monterrey, NL, April 14, 2025 – Arca Continental, one of the world's largest Coca-Cola bottlers, has made an investment in the seed round of the Argentine startup Sensify through its Corporate Venture Capital fund, AC Ventures, as part of its commitment to accelerate the digital transformation of the commercial ecosystem and promote the entrepreneurial ecosystem. 

Sensify, a company specializing in cooling equipment intelligence, will collaborate in the integration of Computer Vision technologies - a branch of Artificial Intelligence that allows the identification of objects and people - in Arca Continental's commercial processes. This effort aims to optimize the management and execution of points of sale in the traditional channel, strengthening operational efficiency and improving the consumer experience. 

 

Cooler Eye, the latest innovation from the startup founded in 2019, is a compact camera that allows real-time monitoring of the interior and exterior of cooling equipment. Using advanced Artificial Intelligence models, this technology identifies opportunities for improvement in the distribution and availability of products for the consumer in the traditional channel. 

 

With this investment, Arca Continental, through AC Ventures, reaffirms its commitment to generating value for all its stakeholders, integrating startups to drive and develop emerging technologies with high scalability potential. 

 

Regarding this, Eugenio Harraca, founder and CEO of Sensify, mentions that "this alliance brings enormous benefits for both companies. We have the most advanced technology in the world in refrigerators and will significantly boost our clients' sales by improving the consumer experience in Latin America. This agreement consolidates our global expansion, accelerating together a new paradigm in the industry worldwide." 

 

"This investment reflects our commitment to accelerating digital transformation at Arca Continental, connecting the innovative vision of startups like Sensify with our commercial ecosystem. We are convinced that the integration of AI and emerging technologies in point-of-sale execution will significantly optimize the consumer experience, driving sustainable growth and greater operational efficiency throughout the region," detailed Daniel Rodríguez Siller, Director of AC Ventures.
