AI operating system orchestrates autonomous agents to streamline logistics operations.
San Francisco, California, September 5, 2025
San Francisco-based HappyRobot closed a $44 million Series B led by Base10 Partners to accelerate growth of its AI-native operating system for logistics and supply chains. The funding will support hires in engineering, on-site consulting and sales with hiring focus in San Francisco and Madrid, advance product development, and expand enterprise deployments. HappyRobot’s platform orchestrates autonomous AI workers across phone, email and chat, integrates with TMS, ERP and CRM systems, and serves more than 70 enterprise customers, delivering faster scheduling and multi-fold ROI in carrier operations and sales workflows.
San Francisco-based HappyRobot, Inc. announced a $44.0 million Series B funding round reported in September 2025, bringing the company’s total venture capital to $62 million. The round was led by Base10 Partners and included follow-on support from prior and strategic investors. The capital will be used to hire talent, advance the company’s AI platform, and expand enterprise deployments and global operations.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, HappyRobot builds an AI-native operating system that orchestrates autonomous AI workers—often described as AI agents or digital teammates—to handle coordination and execution tasks across logistics and supply chain operations. The platform targets repetitive, time-sensitive operational work so human teams can focus on strategy and exceptions.
The Series B was led by Base10 Partners, a San Francisco venture firm founded in 2017 that focuses on the automation of the real economy and invests across sectors such as finance, food, healthcare, retail, logistics, and construction. Other participating investors reported include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Y Combinator, Tokio Marine, WaVe-X, World Innovation Lab (WiL), Array Ventures, and Samsara Ventures. HappyRobot previously raised a $15.6 million Series A in late 2024, led by a16z.
The platform combines a specialized mix of large language models and agentic AI refined with industry‑specific knowledge to automate tasks. It supports agents that can communicate over phone, email, and chat; read documents and websites; perform optical character recognition (OCR) and browser automation; transcribe and generate voice; and relay time-critical information to human workers. Deep integrations with enterprise systems—including transportation management systems (TMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM)—are part of the implementation model.
A configurable AI builder allows operations teams, including non-developers, to create and deploy new agents using a prompt. Agents can range from simple report generators to complex workflows that manage outreach, replace workers, negotiate rates, and book appointments with little human oversight while updating managers on exceptions.
HappyRobot reports more than 70 enterprise customers, including large logistics and transportation firms such as DHL Group, Ryder System Inc., Werner Enterprises Inc., and Schneider. The company reports measurable impacts for customers: scheduling time cut from over a week to about 30 minutes measured over roughly 10 months; outbound sales agents showing a potential 19× return on investment; and carrier sales operations receiving reported returns above 5×.
Prior to the Series B, the company’s team was about 70 people. The new funds are earmarked to grow headcount with hires in software engineering, on-site consulting, and sales. Hiring focus locations include San Francisco and Madrid, with plans to expand enterprise deployments and build out global operations.
Common automations reported on the platform include negotiating freight rates, booking carrier appointments, collecting payments, recruiting and scheduling staff, generating operational reports for management, and checking worker status to fill shifts. The implementation model emphasizes configurable agents that handle routine tasks autonomously while surfacing exceptions for human attention.
The technology stack is presented as an industry‑tuned combination of large language models and agent frameworks, applied specifically to supply chain and logistics workflows. The company frames its mission as building the AI operating system for the real economy, aiming to replace manual coordination with automated agents that maintain connections to enterprise systems and human teams.
Reported uses of the Series B proceeds include hiring top talent, advancing the AI platform, expanding enterprise deployments, and growing global operations. The raise positions the company to increase its footprint in logistics and other operational sectors that benefit from automation of day-to-day coordination tasks.
