“From the shop floor to the boardroom” – Paris-based Pelico raises €34.7 million to advance GenAI in its Supply Chain Orchestration platform

Pelico, a French Supply Chain Orchestration platform innovating complex manufacturing operations, announced today a €34.7 million strategic financing round to accelerate its North American footprint.

Led by General Catalyst with participation from existing investors 83North and Serena, the round brings Pelico’s total funding to €62.6 million. As part of this round, Larry Bohn of General Catalyst will join the company’s board.

“Today’s disruptions and future shocks cannot be solved by siloed teams and fragmented supply chains,” said Tarik Benabdallah, Founder and CEO of Pelico. “We started Pelico in 2019 to solve the dilemma that a single late part can halt a billion dollar production and limit the ability to innovate. Our AI-powered co-pilot is built to solve this by creating a connected, real-time view of supply chain operations.”

Founded in 2019 by Tarik Benabdallah, Mamoun Alaoui, and Jonathan Hickson, the company now also maintains offices in Miami and Frankfurt.

Pelico helps global manufacturers orchestrate their supply chains in real time with its AI-powered platform. Purpose-built to solve operational fragmentation, Pelico connects data, teams, and tools – enabling faster decisions, reducing backlogs, cutting inventory costs, and ensuring on-time delivery.

Global manufacturers such as Airbus, Safran, Eaton and Daikin have successfully deployed Pelico in just 12 weeks, reportedly achieving immediate improvements in operational efficiency.

According to Pelico, customers see an average reduction of 40% in parts shortages, a 15% increase in on-time deliveries, and a 40% reduction in MRO cycle times.

“Pelico was rolled out across 5 factories and over 150 users in record time, delivering immediate and measurable impact,” said Dan Berilloux, Senior IT Leader, Aerospace at Eaton. “It didn’t just upgrade our tech stack – it transformed how our teams collaborate, make decisions, and operate. What used to be ad hoc is now standardised, streamlined, and scalable.”

Pelico is scaling rapidly with 300% year-over-year revenue growth over the past two years and tripling its headcount since 2022.

Deployed in over 15 countries, Pelico supports global industry leaders operating 1000+ factories worldwide and works with 50% of the world’s top 10 aerospace and defense companies.

Larry Bohn, Managing Director at General Catalyst said, “Pelico addresses one of the most urgent challenges in global manufacturing – supply chain fragmentation. We saw their potential to transform complexity into clarity by turning operational data into fast, actionable insights. In today’s turbulent world, ensuring resilient and intelligent supply chains isn’t just a competitive edge – it’s a necessity. With General Catalyst now joining to scale this mission globally, we believe Pelico is poised to become a defining platform in industrial AI.”

With this funding, Pelico will accelerate North American expansion, where revenue has tripled in the last six months. The funding will also drive hiring in data science and engineering and accelerate investment in Agentic AI to deliver smarter, self-optimising supply chains.

Florent Pelissier, Startup Director at Microsoft added, “At Microsoft, we are proud to partner with forward-thinking companies like Pelico, whose GenAI solutions leverage Azure AI and Copilot to drive agility and resilience across manufacturing operations. Pelico’s Agentic platform exemplifies the kind of industry-relevant, cloud-powered innovation that harnesses the power of AI to deliver real-time insights and optimisation, from the shop floor to the boardroom.”
