 Funding and financials
 
 
 In October 2022, Trigo raised USD 100 million in a funding round led by Singapore investment firm Temasek. Germany&rsquo;s SAP SE was a strategic backer of the round and planned to work with its own retailer customers to help integrate Trigo into its systems. The company planned to use the funds to focus on three core initiatives: 1) expanding the company&rsquo;s autonomous retail platform, 2) building increasingly larger stores, and 3) executing a pipeline of contracted stores around the world. The company was to also invest in building its StoreOS software for inventory tracking, store management, and data collection.&nbsp;
