Israeli retail-tech startup Onebeat raises $15M to predict what shoppers will buy and expand to the U.S. market

Onebeat, a retail tech startup focused on smarter inventory decisions, has officially launched in the U.S. with $15 million in new funding. The round was led by Schooner Capital, with backing from Magenta Venture Partners, Surround Ventures, AnD Ventures, J-Ventures, and INcapital Ventures. That brings the company’s total funding to $30 million.

The startup has already made a name for itself outside the U.S., helping brands like Calvin Klein, Panasonic, and Aramis make better inventory calls across LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. Now it’s bringing that playbook stateside—at a time when retailers are dealing with bloated stockrooms, tighter margins, and increasingly impatient customers.

Retailers have long struggled with traditional, forecast-heavy inventory systems that often miss the mark. The result? Shelves are packed with what shoppers don’t want, and empty when they do. It’s estimated that up to 30% of clothing never sells and ends up as waste.

Onebeat wants to fix that. The startup was founded in 2018 by supply chain experts from the Goldratt Group and built around the Theory of Constraints. Instead of relying on long-range forecasts, its platform helps retailers make daily inventory decisions by SKU and store, based on real demand.

Its system helps retailers analyze customer behavior in real-time, using AI and big data to adjust product assortment, stock levels, and sales strategy across both online and physical stores—day by day, store by store.

The platform handles everything from replenishment to liquidation, adjusting inventory flow in real time. According to the company, the results are hard to ignore: 15% higher sell-through, 71% fewer stockouts, 33% less inventory, and up to 5% gains in margins.

“Retailers today don’t need more data—they need intelligent AI-driven execution,” said Dr. Yishai Ashlag, CEO and Co-founder of 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 U.S. market.”

Schooner Capital’s Orhan Gazelle called Onebeat’s momentum impressive and sees strong potential for its model to reshape how retailers work.

Panasonic’s team says the impact has been clear: “Onebeat gave us a common language across production, logistics, and sales—so we could chase one goal: never run out of stock,” said 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.”

More than 220 retailers already use Onebeat. With its U.S. debut, the company is targeting omnichannel, department store, and specialty retailers who are under pressure to move fast, waste less, and make every margin point count.
