Our Story
Aila was founded in 2010, shortly after the release of the first iPad. Cofounders Jason Gulbinas and Matt Kowalczyk recognized that these powerful mobile devices were a significant upgrade to traditional retail technologies, so they began designing products to optimize them for the retail environment.
Since then, Aila has scaled into a predominant technology provider to world-class enterprises with a full range of customer-facing hardware, enterprise services, and cutting-edge computer vision and barcoding solutions for clients in retail, grocery, healthcare, logistics, and beyond.
With established partnerships with some of the largest and most innovative companies in the world, we are helping global enterprises transform how they use technology to elevate experiences and streamline operations.
