Ekyam provides an AI-first middleware platform designed to create a real-time, unified view of inventory for commerce businesses. The company was founded by Mariah Chase, former CEO of Eloquii, and Abi Sachdeva, a seasoned technology leader. The duo previously worked together at Send the Trend, which was acquired by QVC. Their experience leading large commerce and technology operations revealed the friction caused by siloed systems, inspiring them to build Ekyam.
The platform serves as a fully managed, no-code integration layer that connects disparate systems such as ERP, OMS, WMS, and POS without requiring traditional APIs. This is achieved through AI-powered connectors that translate and transmit data between systems, establishing a single source of truth for inventory down to the SKU level in real-time. Ekyam's solution is designed for the retail ecosystem, aiming to bring efficiency, visibility, and speed to complex inventory operations. The business model is an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), which reduces the need for clients to invest heavily in engineering resources or expensive software licenses.
Key features include real-time inventory observability, automated order routing to optimize fulfillment (supporting BOSS and BOPIS), proactive alerting, and intelligent AI agents that automate routine tasks and provide business insights. The company also offers an AI-powered Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) add-on to simplify integration with major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, accelerating time-to-market. In March 2025, Ekyam announced a $2 million seed funding round led by Female Founders Fund with participation from Greycroft.
