GoRadar provides real-time inventory tracking, locating, and automation for physical storefronts using high-speed RFID tagging and specialized AI to map product distributions inside complex store layouts. An in-store sensory network captures item locations with millimeter-level precision and rapid scans, feeding an AI engine that produces live stock metrics, triggers replenishment, flags discrepancies, and yields actionable insights for store configuration and omnichannel fulfillment, while also creating e-commerce-like behavioral data for automatic cart updates. It differentiates itself from competitors with much higher location accuracy and faster scanning than traditional handheld RFID, plus continuous localized stock analytics and multi-store diagnostics that inform automated in-store processes. The goal is to help large retailers maximize efficiency, protect margins from shrinkage and stockouts, and speed omnichannel fulfillment through automated, data-driven store operations.

Radar hits $1B valuation with $170M Series B to fight retail theft and inventory loss

Radar, a startup helping retailers manage in-store inventory and reduce theft, has reached unicorn status after raising $170 million in a Series B round at a valuation exceeding $1 billion. The round was co-led by Gideon Strategic Partners and Nimble Partners, with participation from Align Ventures. Founded in 2013 by Spencer Hewett, Radar uses ceiling-mounted hardware to read RFID tags with 99% accuracy across more than 1,400 stores, including American Eagle and Old Navy. The technology enables staff to locate items instantly and helps managers identify shrink from theft or error. Backed by American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein, whose company was Radar's first client, the startup has helped some retailers reduce buy-online-pickup-in-store cancellation rates from 25% to 3%. One client reportedly saw a 60% reduction in shrink.
