Israeli startup Onebeat just secured $15 million to expand its AI-driven retail platform into the United States. The round was led by Schooner Capital, with support from Magenta Venture Partners, Surround Ventures, AnD Ventures, J-Ventures, and INcapital Ventures. This brings the company’s total funding to $30 million.
Founded in 2018, Onebeat is on a mission to help retailers make better inventory decisions. Instead of relying on outdated forecasts, its platform reacts to real customer demand in real time. The system uses AI to monitor shopping behavior and adjust inventory flow daily—by store, by SKU.
Why the U.S. market is ripe for change
Retailers in the U.S. are struggling with excess inventory, tight margins, and impatient shoppers. Traditional forecasting often misses the mark. That’s why Onebeat believes its model is the solution. By shifting to dynamic, data-driven decision-making, retailers can reduce waste and boost performance.
Already, Onebeat has helped major brands like Calvin Klein, Panasonic, and Aramis optimize inventory across Latin America, Europe, and Asia. With its U.S. debut, the company is targeting department stores, specialty retailers, and omnichannel brands that need faster, smarter operations.
AI that turns data into action
Unlike legacy systems, Onebeat doesn’t just collect data—it acts on it. Its AI engine analyzes shopping trends and translates insights into real-time decisions. That means faster restocks, smarter markdowns, and fewer out-of-stock items.
The platform handles everything from replenishment to liquidation. According to Onebeat, its clients see 15% higher sell-through rates, 71% fewer stockouts, and 33% less inventory. Even better, profit margins can rise by up to 5%.
“Retailers don’t need more data—they need intelligent execution,” said Dr. Yishai Ashlag, CEO and co-founder of Onebeat. “Our platform helps them move from guessing to knowing. With this funding, we’re ready to bring agile, AI-powered retail to the U.S.”
Retailers are already seeing results
Panasonic’s team said the impact was immediate. “Onebeat gave us a shared language across production, logistics, and sales,” explained group managers Kenichi Koyama and Daisuke Ihara. “Now, inventory is visible, actions are clear, and we respond faster to demand.”
Schooner Capital’s Orhan Gazelle sees a big opportunity. “Onebeat’s growth is impressive,” he said. “We believe their model can reshape how U.S. retailers manage inventory.”
Today, more than 220 brands use Onebeat. With its U.S. launch, the startup is ready to help even more retailers operate leaner, smarter, and faster—one store at a time.
