Last week, drone-based inventory provider Gather AI launched its Partner Program. The company said the program will help its vetted supply chain optimization experts increase revenue and customer satisfaction by offering AI-powered, performance-driven inventory monitoring.
Gather AI said the program will help it keep up with a growing market for drones in warehouses. According to Market.US, the global warehouse drone market will reach $34.8 billion by 2033. That market was worth $9.8 billion in 2023, and the firm said it will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%.
Gather AI provides autonomous drones equipped with advanced computer vision to provide inventory services for warehouses. The Pittsburgh-based company said its drones can boost return on investment (ROI) by three to five times and can provide a 70% reduction in inventory errors.
“We’ve taken great care in designing our Partner Program to benefit all parties involved and are excited to see it launch today,” stated Judy Gordon, head of partnerships at Gather AI. “Through our Partner Program, industry leaders can add proven, AI-enabled warehouse automation to their list of offerings. Beyond our solution, we aim to be easy to work with and to ensure that our partners and their customers see value in working with us.”
Program already has four partners on board
Supply chain leaders already participating in the program include Argon & Co, Peak Technologies, Systems in Motion, and Made4Net.
“At Peak Technologies, our goal is to deliver innovative, proven solutions that drive operational excellence for our customers,” said Dave Green, executive chairman of Peak Technologies.
“By integrating AI-driven drone automation and inventory intelligence software, we’re empowering productivity and enabling significant cost reductions for our clients,” he added. “Gather AI has been an exceptional partner, delivering transformative results that are making a measurable impact for our customers.”
Gather AI said benefits of its Partner Program include:
- Supply chain consultants can more easily help their clients improve and maintain their inventory accuracy.
- Warehouse management systems (WMS) providers can help current and prospective customers maximize the value of their automation.
- Systems integrators can add services and recurring revenue for their customers, showcasing their innovation. They can also use Gather AI’s digital twins and data insights to help optimize their customers’ warehouses.
Looking ahead, Gather AI said it is focused on growing the Partner Program. In addition, it plans to support new partners through the sales cycle with sales assistance, marketing assets, and ongoing customer service.
Gather AI marks 2024 achievements
Last year, Gather AI focused on expanding its team and technological capabilities, while also expanding deployments. In April, it raised $17 million in Series A-1 financing. This latest round brought its total funding to date to $34 million.
Later that month, it added inferred case count and location occupancy capabilities to its system. It said these capabilities enable warehouses to get automated, digitized counts and location utilization reports, resulting in higher on-time shipment rates while reducing dedicated counting labor. The company has also expanded into freezer and cold storage environments.
At the beginning of 2025, Gather AI announced Christopher Visnic as its new head of sales and Li Wu as its new head of finance. The company said these new hires solidify its leadership team with deep supply chain expertise.
