Onera (acquired by Lyniate in 2021)

Onera, Inc. was a San Francisco-based retail technology company that built a real-time inventory availability and omnichannel order fulfillment platform. Its "Onera Decision Engine" connected inventory events across siloed retail systems into a single real-time source of inventory truth and used machine learning to determine optimal fulfillment locations for orders, serving retailers such as Gap, Old Navy, Torrid, rue21, and Zumiez. Founded circa 2014 and backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Founder's Collective, Onera was acquired by supply-chain planning and optimization vendor ToolsGroup in June 2022, where its real-time inventory and fulfillment capabilities were folded into the ToolsGroup retail platform. NOTE: the "acquired by Lyniate in 2021" in this record's slug/name is incorrect harvested metadata; the verified acquirer is ToolsGroup (2022). The company no longer operates a standalone public developer portal or API surface.

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Onera (acquired by Lyniate in 2021) is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Onera (acquired by Lyniate in 2021) scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type

Onera (acquired by Lyniate in 2021) is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
