Vori builds an AI-native B2B operating system for the grocery industry. The software handles checkout, payments, pricing, ordering, inventory and loyalty for independent grocers, and connects data across the food supply chain for grocers and suppliers alike. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company serves independent grocers across the United States. Vori describes its platform as acting as "virtual employees that never clock out."
The company states a mission of empowering independent retailers with usable and effective technology, with the stated goal of levelling the playing field for independents against large chains such as Walmart and Amazon, and of democratising food supply access. Customers have reported gross margin improvements and increased net sales, according to the company.
Technical work spans AI-native operating systems, retail checkout and payments technology, pricing and ordering systems, inventory management, loyalty systems and supply chain data integration. Vori has raised $50M in total funding, including a $22M Series B round. Its industry verticals include grocery retail, independent retail, the food supply chain, and wholesale and suppliers.
