Gallatin AI Inc. raised $50 million in a Series A funding round announced today. 8VC, Silent Ventures, and several other investors contributed to the round. This new capital follows a $15 million seed raise in 2024.
Headquartered in El Segundo, California, Gallatin develops software for military supply chain management. The company currently counts the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force among its customers. According to Gallatin, the U.S. Defense Department's commercial logistics partners can also use the platform. The company states that the software streamlines supply movement and saves time for logistics teams.
Brian Ballard, the chief product officer at Gallatin, spoke about the broader mission. The opportunity in front of us is bigger than building better software, Ballard said. It is making logistics a source of operational advantage, and giving sustainers the ability to make better decisions before constraints become mission problems.
Manual tasks slowed down military supply chains
Figuring out supply needs requires significant manual effort. Logistics teams must check long inventory reports and read brief supply requests sent through internal chat systems. Workers also analyze data from vehicle sensors that show when commodities like fuel need replenishment. Navigator automates this data collection by pulling records from multiple systems and organizing them into a standard format. The platform then uses artificial intelligence to display the data on visual dashboards.
The software displays every asset that a logistics team supports. For aircraft, the platform presents details on fuel, corrosion prevention sprays, and spare parts. This information appears as graphs, map overlays, and spreadsheet records. Navigator applies artificial intelligence to predict supply shortages. It builds forecasts using current inventory levels and past consumption patterns, while updating estimates when sudden consumption spikes happen.
Teams build resupply plans using data surfaced by Navigator. According to Gallatin, the built-in artificial intelligence automatically highlights areas for improvement within those plans. The software also automates administrative document creation.
Gallatin plans to use the new funds to upgrade Navigator's artificial intelligence features. The company will also hire additional engineers to support these product enhancements.
