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.

More accurate than Google

Canals has been more accurate and does a better job than Google of providing more information when you're looking up products. And I do appreciate the deeper dive into the data and what we have in our stock.

Saved me so much time

I was a huge skeptic of Canals at first. I was like, "I don't know about all that," but it has really saved me so much time entering orders. I think we're on a really good track with it.

Easy and efficient

Your team's help is making the transition from submitting wire quotes, using the old Eclipse method to a more robust Canals interface, easy and efficient. Thank you and your team very much for all the hard work on this. We really appreciate it.

Co-Owner, Atlantic Plumbing Supply

The product speaks for itself. I think it sells itself, honestly.

When you consider the cost of hiring a person who would be completely dedicated to sales order entry–and you multiply that cost across every branch, and you assume they can do so quickly and without error–you see how minimal the cost of Canals is.

It's so fun working with your engineers

You can just see the wheels in their head turning and it's like, "Why didn't I think of that?" They never say no. It's always, "Yeah, we can do that."
