Kibo Commerce

What Kibo Commerce does

Kibo Commerce (KIBO) is a private, Austin-based software company founded in 2016 that sells a unified, composable commerce and order management platform to enterprise retailers, branded manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers. Its platform is built on a MACH-certified, API-first, microservices architecture that supports both B2C and B2B on a single stack, with core products covering headless commerce storefronts and an order management system (OMS) that delivers real-time inventory visibility, intelligent order routing, and Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) calculations across distribution centers, stores, and dropship vendors.

The product surface is organized as a platform-plus-modules structure: core Commerce and OMS, add-on modules (Agentic Commerce, AI Vector Search, Subscription Management, Reverse Logistics, Dropship, CMS, MCP Server), and packaged microservices (Cart & Checkout, Inventory Visibility, Inventory Promising, Catalog/Pricing/Promotions). The 2025-launched Agentic Commerce layer deploys nine specialized AI agents (including Shopper, Order Routing, Promotions, Merchandising, and Forecasting agents) and an MCP Server exposing 500+ commerce operations to LLM-compatible clients. Connect Hub provides pre-built ERP, WMS, PIM, and payment integrations.

KIBO monetizes primarily through subscription SaaS contracts with quote-based pricing for the core platform and transparent tiered pricing for Agentic Commerce (Start at $45,000/year for 100K conversations up to Enterprise tier with volume discounts). Go-to-market is enterprise-led with a parallel product-led growth motion (modular adoption starting with a single microservice) and a partner channel of global and regional system integrators (Accenture, Publicis Sapient, Merkle) concentrated in EMEA. The customer base spans 40+ named enterprise logos across retail, fashion, manufacturing, hardware, healthcare, and distribution. Reported 2025 growth metrics include 30% revenue growth, 28% net new bookings/ARR growth, and 112% net retention.
