How Gather AI’s Automated Inventory Management System Helps Businesses

Last Updated on July 24, 2024 by Editorial Team

Gather AI is building the world’s first large-scale and truly autonomous inventory management system — so much that small to large organizations can’t imagine going back to old inventory management methods, saving businesses 15–30x in costs and resources

Gather AI’s drone-powered inventory monitoring decreases the cost of inventory accuracy, improves productivity, and boosts revenue. Customers report a 70% increase in inventory accuracy, ROI in less than a year, and discovering $1M worth of products. Drones autonomously scan up to 900 locations per hour, enhancing productivity and efficiency. On average, Gather AI customers reduce inventory errors by 66%, significantly cut down pallet emergencies, and improve customer experience with better on-time fulfillment and decreased shrinkage.

Pittsburgh, PA—March 29, 2022: Gather AI, the first truly automated inventory management system that brings near-real-time visibility to warehousing operations, has positively impacted many customers. From retailers having inventory visibility to their whole network without traveling to each site to finding inventory in the dark corners of their distribution centers (DCs). Small-size physical stores all the way to multinational corporations like Walmart and Amazon depend on reliable and accurate inventory management software systems, as these are needed everywhere, and with even more challenging tasks at large-scale retailers, such as the warehouses from the biggest retailers in the Fortune 500. But, even with inventory management software, large organizations still rely on people on forklifts with barcode readers to perform cycle counts, from a significant amount of employees to costly machinery to properly manage large-scale inventories, such as those found in retail, third-party logistics, food distribution, and warehouses in air cargo industries. Most importantly, the visibility of what’s sitting on the DC floor is delayed by 3-4 months.

“We have found $156k of missing inventory in the first 60 days.”

To solve this significant problem, Gather AI is building the world’s first truly autonomous inventory management platform, freeing logistic-driven organizations from inefficient and manual tasks through intelligent and robust automation. Their enterprise-ready platform provides an up-to-date view of physical inventory and assets, both indoors and out, so companies can make the best decisions in their day-to-day operations.

“With the drone, we are shifting some tasks in terms of counting the goods, detecting damages, from the warehouse to the office; where actually from a safety point of view, we avoid our people in the warehouse,” said Guillaume Crozier, SVP Cargo UAE of dnata. This statement dramatically highlights how Gather AI’s inventory management system platform has become an essential part of the safety and efficiency of its customers’ warehousing operations.

“The savings we see using Gather’s drone technology, even just within our own ICQA team… as an example, we’re conducting an ROI on a single footwear and apparel account, and for that account alone, we’re projecting an annualized $70-80k savings just for our ICQA resources…in having to count and resolve variances, and that doesn’t even speak to productivity increases and labor savings,” said James Rapoza, VP Business Process Optimization of Barrett Distribution.

“Well, the information that we can obtain from the drone, we can download that into our cargo management system, and it will take those dimensions into play, and it will actually build a ULD (unit load device)… I think in the future, it’s going to become a tool everybody wants to use,” said Kerry Galegher, SVP Cargo of dnata.
