AutoScheduler.AI, which offers warehouse orchestration software aimed at accelerating warehouse management system (WMS) processes, has announced $6.5 million in first round of funding from Noro-Moseley Partners, an early growth equity firm based in Atlanta, to continue growing and expanding the company and its technologies. Prior to this round, AutoScheduler was privately funded, it noted, and growing rapidly and profitably.
“We believe that now is the time for AutoScheduler to stake its claim as the leader of the warehouse orchestration space,” says Vasant Kamath, General Partner, Noro-Moseley. “Warehouses are undergoing a seismic shift in the industry and are at the forefront of supply chain transformation. With the right innovative tools in place, warehouses and supply chain leaders can unlock major efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction. AutoScheduler’s AutoPilot and AutoPilot Central are the tools to do just that.” Kamath will join the board of AutoScheduler as part of the transaction.
“Warehouse environments are constantly changing with fluctuating inventory levels, customer demands, and workforce availability, needing meticulous orchestration to meet customer service levels,” added Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler.AI. “We believe the industry is at the cusp of innovation with our warehouse orchestration solutions, and we plan to expand on these technologies to deliver unparalleled results for customers’ bottom lines.
AutoScheduler intends to use the funds to enhance its AI-enabled warehouse orchestration solutions, which sit on top of a WMS, to optimize decision-making and to deliver on-time and in-full fulfillment. In addition, AutoScheduler will expand its reach through strategic marketing and partnerships. The company added that it plans to grow its team, and bring more products to market that leverage AI to enhance clients’ success.
Recently, AutoScheduler introduced AutoPilot Central, which the company says provides a bird's-eye view of multi-site data for centralized command and control of an entire distributed warehouse network. The company's user base includes industry leaders such as P&G, PepsiCo, Kimberly-Clark, and Unilever. The software platform focuses on labor planning, inventory workflows, human-robotics interaction, and space utilization.
