Transformed Logistics Sector Aided by $6 Million in Seed Funding for AI-Powered BackOps AI

BackOps AI, a company specialising in AI operations for supply chain workflows, has announced plans to extend the capabilities of their flagship product, Relay. The next product launch, dubbed "Relay Vision," aims to take Relay beyond reactive automation and into the realm of predictive analytics and proactive identification of repetitive workflows.

The company's AI-based automation platform, Relay, is designed to integrate lightly with existing tools like ERPs, WMS platforms, and communication systems. This integration allows companies to start with simple tasks and gradually move to more complex workflows, all without requiring heavy IT lifts.

BackOps AI's vision is to leverage simple tools like email and Slack to solve the decades-long integration problem in the supply chain. The company's co-founder and CEO, Sean McCarthy, aims to change the shockingly manual nature of logistics operations in product-driven businesses.

The opportunity for BackOps AI lies in bringing intelligent automation to the massive and underserved logistics industry. The company recently secured a $6 million seed round, bringing its total funding to $8 million. This funding round was led by Construct Capital, with continued support from Gradient and 10VC.

Rachel Holt, Co-founder and General Partner at Construct Capital, believes that BackOps AI has an incredibly clear vision and a team that understands the pain points of logistics from the inside out. Construct Capital has expressed confidence in BackOps AI's ability to deliver tangible ROI to customers.

With the upcoming enhancements, BackOps AI aims to enable customers to transition from manual task execution to intelligent and self-optimizing operations. The company plans to double down on product innovation and expand Relay, their AI-powered automation platform, in the coming months.

The upcoming product launches for Relay will also include enhanced integrations across transportation and warehouse systems. BackOps AI's mission is to drive real automation without adding complexity, making it an attractive solution for businesses looking to streamline their logistics operations.
