Gather AI

Autonomous inventory management software platform

About Gather AI

Gather.ai provides an autonomous inventory management platform designed for large-scale warehouses. The platform uses software to automate inventory scanning, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with traditional methods. By employing technologies like computer vision and machine learning, Gather.ai enables a single drone to complete tasks in eight minutes that would typically take employees two hours, making the process much faster and cheaper. Unlike competitors, Gather.ai operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, allowing clients to subscribe and integrate the platform with their existing systems without needing additional hardware. The goal of Gather.ai is to enhance operational efficiency in warehouses, making inventory management more streamlined and cost-effective.
