OnSite, founded April 8 in Singapore, raised $1.3M in seed funding co-led by Tin Men Capital and Alter Global. The platform replaces the WhatsApp and voice call chaos on construction sites with a messaging system where workers communicate through voice notes, photos, and text. AI automatically organizes everything by project, location, and timeline. Co-founder Poh Yong Han is a Rhodes Scholar whose family runs a construction business in Singapore. Co-founder Liam Appelson studied physics at Yale and has worked in carpentry and industrial design. The product is in beta with partners in Singapore and Hong Kong.

MODEX 2026, the major supply chain expo, opens today in Atlanta. CMES Robotics and Engineering Innovation are demoing a fully integrated AI parcel handling system where computer vision identifies and grips parcels of varying shapes, sizes, and orientations directly from a gaylord, then sorts them downstream. Ocado Intelligent Automation is unveiling Ocado IQ, a cloud-based AI layer that directs every pick, path, and priority for its fleet of autonomous mobile robots. KNAPP is showcasing KNAPP Brain, which it calls the first AI layer designed specifically for digital value chains. This is the clearest signal yet that AI in logistics has moved from pilot programs to production floor demonstrations.

XBuild raised $19M in a Series A led by N47 with participation from Rackhouse Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. The platform generates complete roofing project estimates in under 15 minutes, including electronic signatures, payments, and business dashboards. In its first year, over 15,000 projects were run to completion, representing $250M worth of construction work. Co-founded by former Uber and Postmates executives Jahan Khanna and Rob Moran alongside civil engineer Sharuk Khanna, the product is initially focused on residential roofing but designed to expand across trades.

Sensera Systems raised $27M in a Series B to scale SiteCloud, its AI-powered jobsite monitoring platform. Contractors upload or stream images from a site and the AI scans them for hazards tied to OSHA's Fatal Four: falls, struck-by objects, electrocutions, and caught-in/between incidents. The system generates real-time safety reports, site hygiene summaries, and dumpster notifications, and can export findings directly into Procore. The company is based in Golden, Colorado and the round was led by 10 Atlantic Group.

Stockholm-based Brickanta raised $8M in seed funding led by Northzone after going through Y Combinator. The platform automates preconstruction workflows: bid analysis, cost estimation, and procurement. Customers generate detailed RFPs and pricing analyses in minutes rather than days. Since launching through YC in October, the company has onboarded hundreds of users across eleven countries on four continents. Co-founders Lucas and Linus Otterling have quadrupled the team since closing the round.
