VALANCE develops an AI-powered headless supply chain management (SCM) platform tailored to small and medium-sized businesses. The product digests uploaded documents and legacy data to automatically construct company-specific SCM infrastructure, delivering real-time visualization and chat-based access to supply-chain information. By activating dormant assets such as analog records, it automates workflows and aims to boost capital efficiency. Newly secured capital will be used to deepen the platform’s AI capabilities and expand the product development team. Headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, the company was founded by Shun Watanabe and Kimihiro Yamaguchi. Including the latest raise, VALANCE has attracted a total of ¥310 million in funding, giving it runway to accelerate product enhancements and market reach.
