Today, we’re excited to share that Tailor has completed the final close of our Series A, bringing our total fundraising to $37 million. This final $15 million close adds several new investors, including i-nest capital, ALPHA, Fukoku CVC Fund, JPS Growth Investment Limited Partnership (Japan Post Investment Corporation), and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank. Global Brain and Globis Capital Partners, who participated in Tailor’s seed round, also increased their commitments.
This marks a major milestone for Tailor as we expand our U.S. footprint, deepen our presence in Japan, and accelerate development of the most customizable, operator-centric ERP platform in the market.
Building on the momentum of our earlier rounds announced in May and July (which included participation from New Enterprise Associates, Y Combinator, and several Japanese private and government-backed funds), our team is incredibly encouraged by our customer base’s reaction to Tailor’s first-of-its-kind headless ERP.
2025 has been one of the most unpredictable years operators have faced. Retail and ecommerce brands continue to navigate unprecedented volatility: tariffs reshaping landed costs, supply chains shifting overnight, and the complexity of omnichannel operations increasing month by month.
What we’ve heard from both enterprise and fast-growing SMB teams is clear: Operators need systems that change as quickly as their business does.
Legacy ERPs weren’t built for that reality. Companies shouldn’t have to choose between agility and reliability — and they certainly shouldn’t have to wait 18 months for an implementation that still leaves them with rigid workflows.
As I told Kate Park at TechCrunch when we chatted earlier this year, “Our goal isn’t to force a one-size-fits-all model — it’s to give teams the flexibility to scale and customize ERP around their own workflows and tools.”
Tailor is a headless, composable ERP that gives businesses complete control over how their systems are designed, automated, and scaled.
Our modular, API-first platform enables companies to:
One of the most rewarding parts of building Tailor is seeing how operators immediately benefit from flexibility.
Universal Jewelry, a California-based wholesale and DTC men’s jewelry brand, started with Tailor’s Shopify + Odoo Connector after struggling with a brittle third-party solution. Once they validated Tailor’s real-time synchronization across channels and the ability to customize logic for complex workflows, they decided to expand into Tailor’s broader ERP modules.
“With Tailor, it actually feels like we have a partner — not just a vendor. Their team understands both the tech and the day-to-day reality of running a retail business. Instead of waiting weeks for fixes or explanations, we’re solving problems together in real time.”
Stories like this reaffirm our commitment: ERP should support your business — not force your business to change.
With $37 million in total Series A funding, we’re accelerating investment across four major areas:
1. Product Development & AI: We’re expanding our modular ERP suite — including inventory, purchasing, and finance — while deepening native AI capabilities to automate more of the workflows that consume operators’ time today.
2. U.S. Expansion: Demand from retail and commerce brands continues to grow. We’re building out our U.S. presence to scale customer success, implementation, and support.
3. Enterprise Implementations in Japan: Japan remains a core market for Tailor. We’re investing in implementation teams and enterprise infrastructure to support large-scale ERP transformations.
4. Ecosystem Partnerships: Composable ERP thrives with great integrations. We’re expanding partnerships across OMS, 3PL, finance, procurement, and AI ecosystems to offer a more unified operational stack.
We’re grateful to our customers, our team, and our investors who share our vision for the future of enterprise systems. Thank you for believing in this mission — the best is still ahead!
