We’re excited to share that Tailor has raised $14 million in the first close of our Series A. The round was led by ANRI, one of Japan’s leading early-stage venture capital firms, with participation from Spiral Capital.

This marks a major milestone as we expand our go-to-market efforts in North America and deepen our investments in Japan, where Tailor first started.

This funding comes at a time when operational complexity has never been higher. From omnichannel marketplaces and global sourcing to rising tariffs and evolving fulfillment expectations, modern retail and ecommerce brands are navigating a level of volatility that legacy ERP systems simply weren’t built for.

We believe the solution isn’t to force these new realities into 1990s-era software — it’s to build systems that match the speed and flexibility of today’s operators.

What We're Building

Tailor is the headless, composable ERP that helps companies automate workflows and have total control of their system of record. Our modular, SOC 2-certified platform gives businesses a secure and malleable foundation for managing inventory, purchasing, fulfillment, and financial operations (all while connecting seamlessly with the rest of their stack).

With Tailor, companies can:

• Integrate with or migrate to best-in-class tools without re-architecting their ERP
• Automate workflows that span multiple systems and teams
• Build intuitive, custom user interfaces for internal ops or external partners
• Give developers and AI agents direct access to ERP logic and data

It’s everything we’ve come to expect from API-driven software: flexible and programmable, without the lock-in or long timelines of traditional ERP software.

Why Now?

Retail and commerce companies today face massive shifts:

• Tariffs and trade policy are reshaping the cost structure of global supply chains
• Omnichannel operations demand tight coordination across DTC, wholesale, and 3PLs
• Marketplace complexity continues to grow with the likes of Amazon, Etsy, Rakuten and TikTok Shop

These challenges demand operational and architectural flexibility. For fast-growing retail and ecommerce brands in particular, Tailor provides an attractive and future-ready alternative to point solutions and legacy ERPs.

What’s Next

We’re using this round to scale our go-to-market team in the U.S., support growing demand from enterprise clients, and continue delivering on our product roadmap. Tailor is already gaining traction with mid-market and enterprise companies in both the U.S. and Japan, and we are incredibly excited for what’s to come.

Thank you to our team, our early customers, and our investors for believing in this vision. You can read the official press release here.
