SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tray.io, whose General Automation Platform enables citizen automators in any business role to build enterprise-class integrations and automation themselves in a low-code environment, has closed an October $50M Series C funding round just five months after its previous raise at the end of April 2019. The round is led by Meritech Capital alongside existing investors Spark Capital, GGV Capital, and True Ventures, who participated over their pro rata amounts.

"This is a clear confirmation that the automated organization is the future of work for the enterprise. Over time, we're seeing successful firms drive impressive growth by shifting from a scattershot, ad hoc technology mindset to building an automated central nervous system," said Rich Waldron, Tray.io's CEO and co-founder. "We've seen general automation act as the new growth engine for rapidly-growing companies as they solve integration challenges and scale operations with low-code general automation. That's why we're doubling down on hiring the best team in the world, including veteran executives from ServiceNow and Duo to serve our incredible customers so we can continue to earn the world-class customer ratings they've awarded us."

"General automation is showing nonstop momentum in a marketplace that's hungry for integration support and efficiency lift," explained Alex Kurland of Meritech Capital. "The need to provide cohesive customer experience across the entire buying journey demands ongoing digital transformation. To scale with the exponential increase in software and customer data, companies need to take full ownership of their data with general automation. Not just in IT, but for line-of-business roles across the entire organization. There's no limit to the upside for general automation in today's marketplace, and Tray.io is the undisputed leader in the category."
