For decades, mid-market retailers have struggled to keep pace with larger competitors when it comes to technology adoption. Historically, access to cutting-edge innovation was out of reach - high costs, dedicated data teams, infrastructure investments most regional operators couldn't justify.
That gap is what tapestry was built to close.
What tapestry does
tapestry is an Intelligent Commerce platform that puts real-time, shelf-level analytics into the hands of any retailer, supplier or wholesaler - at a price point that works for the mid-market. Three products sit under one shared data layer: Retail+ for retailers, Supply+ for brands and suppliers, and Collectives for buying groups and wholesalers.
The signature surface across all three is Hank - tapestry's AI Co-Pilot. Ask a question in plain English; get a ranked, evidence-backed answer back. Tap any number to see the SKU, the store, the week. The work that used to take an analyst a morning takes Hank a minute.
In their words
Michael Reddrop, Reddrop Group: "We were running blind on half our weekly decisions. With tapestry, we know what's happening on the shelf before we step into the office. It's changed how we run the business."
Adrian Costa, Brighton Grocer: "Shrink dropped 38% in 90 days. We didn't change what we sell - we changed what we could see."
Bradley Cooper, regional supplier: "Before tapestry, we'd argue about whose data was right for the first hour of every category review. Now we look at the same number. The conversation is twice as productive and half as long."
Emily Adams, FMCG buyer: "Hank gives me back four hours a week. That's not a productivity claim - that's just true."
The next chapter
tapestry's network has grown to 455,000+ stores across 14 markets, with 22,000+ brands now visible on the shelf in real time. Fortune 500 suppliers, regional groups, independents - all looking at the same number.
The thesis from Founder & CEO Chris Bartlett is simple: the next decade of retail belongs to the operators who can see their shelf clearly and act on what they see. tapestry exists to make that possible at any scale.
