Led · Series A · Aug 2026
Takt builds a warehouse labor management and intelligence platform that integrates data from warehouse management systems, time clocks, robotics, material handling controls and homegrown applications to model how operations actually run. Operators use the platform to plan labor, set goals and incentives, coach employees, and connect performance to cost and profitability, while TaktAI reasons over the combined model to surface why results are changing. The company supports more than 100 warehouses for retailers, e-commerce brands and third-party logistics providers, and customers include Kenco (deployed across 19 distribution centers) and ODW Logistics. Cited customer results include a 15% reduction in cost per pallet (equal to $229,000 annually at one CPG site), a 29% improvement in workforce performance and a 39% increase in employee retention at another site. Takt was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Reston, Va. With the new Series A, the company plans to deepen enterprise integrations, expand AI and automation capabilities, and grow its global operations.
