Gather AI

What Gather AI does

Gather AI is a Pittsburgh-based Physical AI software company that provides continuous, real-time inventory intelligence for warehouse and intralogistics operations. Its unified platform, branded Prana, comprises three integrated layers: Vision (computer vision capture via cameras mounted on autonomous drones and forklifts/MHE), Sage (an AI reasoning engine that investigates root cause across inventory, labor, and fulfillment data and surfaces prioritized actions with confidence scores), and Workflows (automated action routing that closes the loop from capture to resolution). The software-first architecture runs on off-the-shelf hardware from partners including ModalAI and NobleLift, extracting ten-plus structured data points per frame (SKU, location, barcode, LPN, case counts, damage, expiration, lot codes) and supporting both ambient and cold storage environments.

The company sells annual enterprise SaaS subscriptions to large logistics networks, third-party logistics providers, retail distribution operations, and manufacturers, with average deal sizes starting at approximately $500,000 per facility and expanding to $3-4 million annually for the largest accounts. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales complemented by solutions integrator and OEM channel partnerships, with active presence at logistics industry events (MODEX, IWLA, Manifest, LogiPharma). Customers include GEODIS, NFI Industries, Barrett Distribution, dnata, Kwik Trip, DSV, Taylor Logistics, AAFES, Langham Logistics, Axon, Stadium Goods, and Bosma Enterprises, across an installed base of roughly 30-50 enterprise networks against a total addressable market of 150,000+ U.S. warehouses. Reported outcomes include 99.9% inventory accuracy (vs. an industry average of ~63%), 80% reduction in manual inventory work, ROI in under 6 months, and net revenue retention of 170%.

Gather AI was founded in 2017-2018 by Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute PhDs Sankalp Arora, Daniel Maturana, and Geetesh Dubey, and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA with a regional hub in Dubai serving Middle East markets including dnata. The company has raised $74 million across pre-seed, seed, Series A ($10M, October 2022), Series A-1 ($17M, March 2024), and Series B ($40M, February 2026), with Smith Point Capital Management leading the Series B and Bain Capital Ventures leading the A-1. In June 2023 it acquired competitor Ware to consolidate the autonomous drone inventory market, adding 25 customers, and has since expanded its product surface into MHE Vision, Co-Pilot agentic features, and predictive analytics while building ecosystem partnerships with Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, AWS, and Snowflake.

Core offering

Gather AI sells an enterprise SaaS Physical AI platform (branded Prana) that delivers continuous, autonomous warehouse inventory visibility for multi-facility logistics networks. The platform captures inventory data through computer vision mounted on off-the-shelf drones and forklifts, reasons over that data with an AI engine (Sage), and routes prioritized workflows to warehouse staff. It is sold as annual subscriptions to 3PLs, retailers, manufacturers and logistics enterprises.

Product overview

Gather AI offers a unified Physical AI platform called Prana for logistics operations, consisting of three integrated layers: Vision (data capture via drones and MHE-mounted cameras), Sage (AI reasoning and operational intelligence), and Workflows (action routing and automation). The platform delivers real-time, continuous inventory visibility and dock-to-dock intelligence across warehouse networks. Vision includes Drone Vision and MHE Vision sub-products, while features like 3D Case Count, Smart Multi-Deep Logic, and Battery Swapper enhance core capabilities. Co-Pilot provides accessibility features and AI-powered assistance. The platform integrates with existing WMS, ERP, LMS, BI systems, and major WMS providers including Manhattan Associates and Blue Yonder.
