AutoScheduler.AI Named a Gartner Cool Vendor

Showcases Innovative, Impactful and Intriguing New Businesses

Austin, TX – (September 16, 2021) – AutoScheduler.AI, an innovative Warehouse Management System (WMS) accelerator, announces mention in Gartner® “Cool Vendors™ in Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2021” report, published September 9, 2021. The report is written by Gartner analysts Dwight Klappich, Carly West, Oscar Sanchez Duran, Bart De Muynck, and Simon Tunstall.

According to Gartner, “Gartner’s definition of a Cool Vendor is a small company offering a technology or service that is innovative, impactful or intriguing. The three elements of a Cool Vendor include:


Innovative — Enables users to do things they could not do before.
Impactful — Has or will have a business impact, not just technology for its own sake.
Intriguing — Has caught Gartner’s interest during the past six months.” [2]

“We believe that AutoScheduler.AI illustrates the definition of a Gartner Cool Vendor because we are the first intelligence warehouse orchestration solution in the industry. We have saved global CPG companies more than $4M annually at a single site by improving on-time, in-full fulfillment, labor, and inventory management. [1]

We consider that it is a once in a lifetime honor to be mentioned as a Gartner Cool Vendor, and we are truly excited. It will bring us exposure to global businesses looking for unique solutions to their problems, potential investors, and the media writing the next big story to cover.”

~ Keith Moore, Chief Product Officer AutoScheduler
