Pelico, a French-founded artificial intelligence startup that streamlines supply chain operations for manufacturers, has secured $40 million in new funding to fuel its North American expansion. The investment round was led by Massachusetts-based General Catalyst.
The company, which recently opened a Miami office, uses its AI-powered platform to synchronize data and operations across supply chains, helping manufacturers reduce backlogs, detect disruptions earlier, lower inventory costs, and improve delivery performance. Pelico reports its North American revenue has tripled over the past six months.
“Our AI co-pilot connects all supply chain operations, ensuring businesses can navigate today’s disruptions and future shocks,” said Pelico founder and CEO Tarik Benabdallah. The company plans to use the new capital to grow its workforce, including hiring additional data scientists, and advance its development of agentic AI – systems capable of operating autonomously across complex environments.
Pelico’s technology is currently deployed in over 1,000 factories, with a customer base that includes aerospace and defense leader Airbus, along with Microsoft, Eaton, and Daikin. The company claims its platform enables a 40% decrease in parts shortages, a 40% reduction in maintenance cycle times, and a 15% increase in on-time deliveries.
In addition to its Paris headquarters and Miami office, Pelico maintains a presence in Frankfurt, Germany.
