Pelico provides a manufacturing orchestration platform for real-time execution in complex production environments. It coordinates operations by anticipating material coverage risk across Bills of Material, recommending recovery actions, and ensuring team alignment. The platform uses specialized AI agents to identify risks and orchestrate cross-functional activities, consolidating data from various sources into a single real-time view.
Pelico was founded in 2019 by Tarik Benabdallah and Mamoun Alaoui. Their deep expertise in artificial intelligence, enterprise software, and industrial operations informed the company's inception. They recognized the pervasive challenge of fragmented global supply chains and the significant disconnect between manufacturing plans and actual execution, aiming to deliver an integrated solution.
The company targets leading discrete manufacturers, enhancing their operational agility and resilience. Pelico’s mission is to close the "execution gap" by transforming manual supply chain processes into a proactive, intelligent execution system. Its vision is to establish execution stability as the new normal in manufacturing, ensuring plans dynamically adapt to real-world conditions.
Pelico has raised $72.0M across 2 funding rounds.

# Pelico: Manufacturing Orchestration Platform
Pelico is an AI-powered manufacturing orchestration platform that helps factories synchronize complex supply chain operations in real time[1][3]. Founded in 2019, the company addresses a critical pain point in discrete manufacturing: the cascading costs of supply chain disruptions, where a single late part can halt billion-dollar production lines[1].
The platform serves manufacturers by centralizing fragmented operational data, anticipating bottlenecks before they occur, and enabling coordinated responses across teams[3]. Rather than simply tracking past performance like traditional business intelligence dashboards, Pelico empowers front-line operational teams to anticipate future disruptions and simulate corrective actions[3]. The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum, raising $40 million in funding led by General Catalyst in mid-2025, bringing total funding to $72 million[1].
Pelico was founded in 2019 by Tarik Benabdallah, who identified a fundamental inefficiency in manufacturing operations: siloed teams and fragmented supply chains that prevent real-time visibility and coordinated decision-making[1]. The company is dual-headquartered in Miami and Paris, reflecting its transatlantic ambitions[1]. With over 130 professionals from more than 36 nationalities, Pelico has assembled a team blending expertise from technology, data science, and manufacturing sectors[2].
The founding insight was straightforward but powerful: manufacturing disruptions—supplier failures, late deliveries, material shortages, quality issues, and machine breakdowns—strike approximately every 16 minutes in complex operations[2]. Pelico's AI-driven approach offers manufacturers a way to detect and respond to these disruptions autonomously rather than relying on manual coordination.
Pelico rides several converging trends reshaping industrial operations. First, the AI-native manufacturing wave is accelerating as companies recognize that generic AI tools cannot solve domain-specific problems—discrete manufacturers need purpose-built intelligence[5]. Second, supply chain resilience has become a strategic imperative following years of global disruptions, making real-time visibility and autonomous response capabilities increasingly valuable[2].
The timing is particularly favorable because manufacturers are actively seeking alternatives to legacy systems that create operational silos. Pelico's positioning as a modern, cloud-native orchestration layer—rather than a replacement for existing ERPs—makes it an attractive addition to enterprise technology stacks[4]. The company's recognition by Microsoft (Scale-Up of the Year) and partnerships with NVIDIA and Oracle signal that it is gaining credibility within the enterprise technology ecosystem[2][4].
Pelico's influence extends beyond its direct customers: by demonstrating that agentic AI can drive measurable operational improvements in manufacturing, the company is helping legitimize AI-driven automation in traditionally conservative industrial sectors.
Pelico is well-positioned to capture significant market share in the manufacturing software space as discrete manufacturers increasingly prioritize supply chain resilience and operational agility. The company's $40 million funding round and stated focus on expanding its North American footprint suggest aggressive growth ahead[1]. Key trends to watch include the maturation of agentic AI capabilities, which could enable Pelico to move customers further along the automation spectrum toward fully autonomous supply chain operations[5].
The company's challenge will be scaling its domain expertise and customer success capabilities as it grows. However, its strong team composition, enterprise partnerships, and purpose-built technology architecture position it well to become a foundational platform in the next generation of intelligent manufacturing operations.
