About

Israel-based retail analytics company Trax has laid off 120 employees, representing 10% of its 1,200-person global workforce, as announced in early May 2020. The layoffs, affecting 34 workers in Israel and 87 internationally, were a direct response to financial pressures exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. CEO Joel Bar-El described it as a "sad day," explaining that despite significant growth in 2019—including five acquisitions and a doubling of staff—the company is not yet profitable and relies on investor funding. The cuts aim to align expenses with its financial position and burn rate, ensuring the company's stability amid the crisis. Trax, a retail tech firm valued at $1.1 billion, develops image recognition solutions for inventory management and operates in over 50 countries.
