Tailor
Develops and provides Platform, a Headless ERP that allows enterprises to build their own tailor-made ERP in low code
About Tailor
Tailor operates as a headless enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, positioning itself as an alternative to monolithic systems like NetSuite and SAP for modern retail and e-commerce brands. The company was founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneurs Yo Shibata and Misato Takahashi. Their collective experience, including Shibata's time at McKinsey and previous startup exits to Rakuten, and Takahashi's roles as CTO at Speee and head of R&D at Mercari, informed their vision to create a more flexible ERP solution. Tailor was the first Japan-based company to be accepted into the Y Combinator accelerator (S22 batch).
Read full description
The firm's core offering is a composable, API-first platform that allows businesses to manage operations with greater adaptability. By decoupling the backend data and logic from the frontend user interface, Tailor enables clients to either use its modular applications, integrate their existing tools, or build custom interfaces and workflows. This headless architecture is designed to help companies react to market changes, connect off-the-shelf tools, and manage omnichannel marketplaces. The platform provides solutions for inventory management, supply chain, purchasing, production, accounting, and omnichannel orders. It supports integrations with over 50 common tools like Shopify and QuickBooks. Revenue is generated based on the modules and services used, allowing for scalable pricing.
Tailor targets fast-growing retail brands, including those managing both direct-to-consumer (DTC) and wholesale (B2B) orders, as well as companies with light manufacturing needs such as kitting or made-to-order products. In 2025, the company announced a Series A funding round, ultimately totaling $22 million, with participation from investors like ANRI, JIC Venture Growth Investments, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Y Combinator. This capital is intended to fund expansion into the North American market, further product development including enhanced AI capabilities, and strengthen its operations in Japan, where the company was founded. Headquartered in San Francisco and Tokyo, Tailor operates with a distributed team.
