The operating system powering ecommerce fulfillment

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built OmniFlow, software that connects brands to a network of over 130 fulfillment centers nationwide. It gives operators visibility and control over inventory, orders, and shipments across channels to deliver fast, reliable ecommerce fulfillment without building their own logistics.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles sits at the intersection of major shipping routes and has a large ecommerce ecosystem. Being here keeps us close to our customers and fulfillment network, and where Jason and Ben live and work full-time.
