Crisp Raises $26M to Power Real-Time Retail Data and AI-Driven Supply Chain Decisions

"Global supply chains move over $15T in goods annually, yet the retail industry operates on razor-thin margins while drowning in disconnected, siloed data that creates massive inefficiencies and waste. When retailers and CPG brands lack real-time visibility into sales, inventory, and supply chain performance, the results cascade throughout the system: out-of-stocks cost the industry billions in lost sales, overstock leads to food waste on an epic scale, and manual data processes consume resources that could drive strategic growth."

"Crisp addresses these challenges through its vertical AI platform that cleanses, models, and interprets retail data from 40+ retailers and distributors, enabling brands to reduce out-of-stocks, optimize inventory, and make data-driven decisions in real-time. The platform's newly launched AI Agent Studio orchestrates supply chain insights and prompts automated actions that improve retail performance, powered by deep data foundations that transform disconnected information into competitive advantage."

"AlleyWatch sat down with Crisp CEO and Founder Are Traasdahl to learn more about the business, its future plans, recent funding round that brings total funding to $127M, and much, much more... Who were your investors and how much did you raise? Most recently, Crisp closed a Series B1 round of $26M. The round was led by Paine Schwartz Partners, with participation from Blue Cloud Ventures, FirstMark Capital, Cox, DNX, Prologis, and Wellington Management."
