AI powered inventory management platform Onebeat lands $15 million in funding for US launch

Onebeat, an inventory optimisation and execution platform, has announced its official US market launch backed by $15 million in funding led by Schooner Capital.

This brings the Israel-based company’s total funding to date to $30 million.

Founded in 2018 and built on the principles of the Theory of Constraints, Onebeat was developed by global supply chain specialists from the Goldratt Group. It works with the likes of Calvin Klein, Panasonic, and Aramis.

“Retailers today don’t need more data - they need intelligent AI driven execution,” says Dr. Yishai Ashlag, CEO and Co-founder at Onebeat. “That’s why we built Onebeat as a new kind of AI powered retail operating system - one that translates data into real-time, revenue driving execution.”

“This investment from Schooner Capital is more than capital - it’s a powerful vote of confidence in our global impact and our vision. With their support, we’re ready to scale our momentum and bring agile, intelligent retail to the US market.”

“Onebeat has demonstrated exceptional leadership, cutting-edge technology, and impressive momentum,” says Orhan Gazelle, Managing Director at Schooner Capital. “We’re excited to support their expansion and be part of their journey as they expand into the US market and revolutionise retail operations on a global scale.”

“Onebeat gave us a common language across production, logistics, and sales, so we could chase one goal: never run out of stock,” says Kenichi Koyama and Daisuke Ihara, Group Manager, Panasonic. “Inventory became visible, actions clear, and excess slashed. Now, we’re faster, leaner, and ready for whatever demand throws at us.” 

RTIH AI in Retail Awards

RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries. 

As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.

With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.

Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.

Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.

This will kick off with a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a three course meal, and awards ceremony in the Garden Room.
