ERP platform Tailor has raised $22 million in a Series A funding round. ERP systems typically come with a single interface that includes all the necessary functions, but this can be inflexible and restrict customization options. In contrast, a “headless” ERP system separates the front end (user interface) from the back end (ERP core), co-founder and CEO of Tailor, Yo Shibata, told. The back end manages key functions of the ERP system, like inventory management and accounting, allowing for independent selection or development of the front end. This setup lets Tailor’s system, Omakase, allow AI agents to securely access its ERP system via API to automate tasks such as summarizing customer histories or triggering workflows, he added. Shibata believes Tailor’s position as a “headless,” highly customizable option will give it a competitive advantage. Tailor’s product, available in the U.S. and Japan, originally targeted retail and e-commerce customers as these industries face specific challenges arising from dynamic supply chains, market expansion, and uncertain geopolitical factors, Shibata told TechCrunch. Omakase automates workflows and manages businesses’ operations like inventory, fulfillment, finance, purchasing, and omnichannel management.
