AutoScheduler.AI yesterday said it has received a strategic investment from Benjamin Gordon, a prominent investor in logistics and supply chain technology companies.
“Ben Gordon brings unmatched expertise in logistics technology and a proven track record of scaling high-growth supply chain innovators,” stated Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler.AI.
“Ben understands that we’re entering a new era in warehousing, where agentic AI enables proactive, intelligent decision-making across operations, driving speed, agility, and performance,” he added. “This strategic partnership will help us accelerate our roadmap, enhance customer outcomes, and bring Agentic AI warehouse orchestration to even more enterprises.”
Agentic AI automates management tasks
AutoScheduler.AI said its warehouse orchestration platform uses artificial intelligence and integrates with existing warehouse management systems (WMS), labor management systems (LMS), and yard management systems (YMS). The Franklin, Tenn.-based company developed its AI and machine learning platform with Procter & Gamble (P&G).
The agentic AI system automates critical warehouse tasks such as labor scheduling, task sequencing, and dock management, said AutoScheduler.AI. It can improve throughput, cut labor costs, and help meet customer service goals, the company claimed.
P&G, Unilever, General Mills, and others have implemented the orchestration system.
Last May, AutoScheduler launched AutoPilot Central, a platform that provides a bird’s-eye view of multi-site data for centralized command and control of an entire distributed warehouse network. It allows executives to identify potential issues within the network, determine which shipments are at risk, and act before issues occur.
AutoScheduler.AI accelerates market efforts
Last year, AutoScheduler.AI raised $6.5 million to expand its technologies. The company said the latest funding marks a significant step in its goal to bring AI to warehouse orchestration.
AutoScheduler.AI said it plans to use the strategic investment to continue its expansion, enhance its product suite, grow of its leadership and engineering teams, and increase go-to-market efforts.
Previous investments and follow-on investments were also made by core AutoScheduler partners Noro-Moseley Partners and Blue Impact LLC.
Gordon has a background in warehousing
Gordon is the managing partner of Cambridge Capital, an investor in niche supply chain leaders. He is also the managing partner of BGSA Holdings LLC (BGSA), an investment banking firm focused on the supply chain industry.
Prior to founding BGSA, Gordon founded 3PLex and led strategy projects in transportation and technology at Mercer Management Consulting. Ben received an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA degree from Yale College.
“In a world where disruptions are the norm, companies need intelligent, responsive systems that can orchestrate warehouse operations in real time and AutoScheduler delivers exactly that and more,” Gordon said. “We are impressed with the team, technology, and leadership at the company and look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
