Tailor, the headless ERP platform enabling modern retail and e-commerce brands to build fully composable business systems, has completed its Series A funding round, bringing total investment to $37 million.
“We’re grateful to our investors and customers who share our belief that ERP should be composable and built around how each business actually operates,” said Yo Shibata, co-founder and CEO of Tailor. “The markets have faced anything but predictability in 2025, and we’ve heard from enterprise and SMB customers alike that empowering operations teams with agility and flexibility is more critical than ever.”
This final close follows earlier rounds announced in May and July 2025 with participation from New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Y Combinator, and several Japanese private and government-backed funds. New investors include 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, both investors from Tailor’s seed round, also increased their commitments in this final close.
The new funding will accelerate Tailor’s U.S. expansion and support continued product development and enterprise implementations in Japan, where the company was founded.
“As retail and e-commerce brands grapple with tariff-related costs, omnichannel complexity, and unpredictable supply chains, the need for a right-sized ERP that’s fast and easy to implement has never been greater,” Shibata added.
Tailor’s headless, composable architecture separates the data and logic layers from the user interface, allowing companies to connect best-of-breed tools, customize workflows through APIs, and evolve their operations without being locked into rigid or expensive systems.
What’s next
With $37 million in total Series A funding, Tailor plans to:
- Accelerate product development of its modular ERP platform — including inventory, purchasing, and finance modules, plus native AI capabilities;
- Expand its U.S. presence to support mid-sized and enterprise commerce operators;
- Deepen customer success and implementation capabilities in North America and Japan; and
- Broaden ecosystem partnerships to help brands unify their operational stack under a composable architecture.
