What they ask for
About Tailor
Tailor is the headless ERP that gives fast-growing retail brands a composable, API-first platform to run operations with speed, flexibility, and control. 🧱 Legacy ERP is too rigid: Systems like NetSuite and SAP take months (or years) to implement and break with every change. Tailor is modular, headless, and easy to adapt. 🧩 Point solutions don’t scale: Tools like inventory or order management software solve one problem, but can’t talk to each other or keep up with growth. 📊 Spreadsheets are everywhere: From demand planning to purchase orders, even $100M+ brands still rely on Excel. Tailor replaces duct-taped workflows with ops modules you can tweak, combine, or scale ⚡️ Complex workflows need custom logic: Whether it's multi-location inventory, DTC + B2B orders, or light manufacturing (like kitting or lot tracking), Tailor supports flexible automations out of the box. 👟 Operators can move faster: Launch backend modules in minutes, not months. Tailor's low-code tools let teams build, automate, and adapt without waiting on engineering or implementation agencies. Built for composable retail: - Headless backend with GraphQL APIs - 50+ integrations (Shopify, QuickBooks, 3PLs, etc.) - Custom automations via Pipelines, Functions, and Event Triggers - State machines for approvals and multi-step workflows - AI features like OCR and vector search built in Tailor is already powering operations at fast-growing omnichannel brands and modern manufacturers. We’re proud to be the first Japan-based company to join Y Combinator. Learn more at [tailor.tech](https://www.tailor.tech)
