Tulip

Can a no-code frontline operations platform for manufacturing and retail embed enough payments and workflow automation to become the operating system for physical commerce and industrial floors?

The story

Tulip Interfaces started as a no-code, IIoT-native frontline operations platform for manufacturing and industrial environments, enabling companies to digitally transform shop-floor workflows without writing code. Over time, the company expanded its scope into retail operations, adding embedded payments via a Stripe-powered Tulip Pay product, indicating a broadening from pure manufacturing SaaS into retail and commerce verticals. The embedded finance footprint remains thin — primarily payment acceptance — suggesting the company is in the early stages of monetizing financial services alongside its core workflow platform.
