Pittsburgh-based logistics tech company Gather AI has raised $40m in a series B round, bringing its total raise to $74m.

The investment follows a year in which the company doubled its operational footprint and grew bookings 250%. The platform is now the operational standard for major logistics and manufacturing enterprises, including Geodis, NFI Industries, Kwik Trip, Axon, DNata, Barrett Distribution and Langham Logistics.

Using AI-powered vision on consumer-grade hardware such as drones and materials handling equipment, Gather AI’s platform digitises pallets, tasks and movements in real time with zero infrastructure changes required, delivering 99.9% accurate ground truth synced to WMS and ERP systems.

Global logistics companies lose billions annually because warehouse activity rarely matches digital system records. This physical-digital divide creates operational blind spots: missed shipments, excess inventory, labour inefficiencies and margin erosion. Gather AI delivers continuous physical intelligence that eliminates these blind spots, enabling teams to identify bottlenecks before they cascade, optimise workflows in real time and operate with confidence rather than constant firefighting.

While traditional AI processes text or images from the internet, Gather AI’s physical AI learns from the real world. Its models are trained on millions of proprietary warehouse images, allowing robots to see, count and verify static and moving inventory in complex environments where standard sensors fail.

Users achieve 99.9% inventory accuracy, reduce manual counting effort by up to 80% and improve productivity fivefold. Most users realise RoI in under six months. This automated oversight transforms warehouses into intelligent nodes that optimise working capital and ensure end-to-end supply chain reliability.

“For too long, supply chains have operated with a fundamental blind spot: they couldn’t see what was actually happening on the floor,” said Sankalp Arora, CEO of Gather AI. “This funding allows us to expand from real-time visibility to full autonomous orchestration. Our customers aren’t just finding problems faster, they’re preventing them entirely. That shift from reactive to proactive is what transforms physical AI from a nice-to-have into the operating system for modern logistics.”

The funding was led by Smith Point Capital Management and included participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Tribeca Venture Partners, Bling Capital, Dundee Venture Capital, XRC Ventures and new investor Hillman.

“Gather AI is redefining how the physical world gets measured, understood and operated,” said Keith Block, CEO of Smith Point Capital Management. “What Sankalp and his team have built isn’t just a better way to count inventory, it’s a foundational intelligence layer for the modern supply chain. We believe Gather AI will become the system of record for every warehouse, factory and yard, and we’re thrilled to help accelerate that future.”

The investment will accelerate expansion to hundreds of additional facilities globally and support the development of predictive capabilities for proactive inventory management. Gather AI is also scaling its engineering and customer success teams to support enterprise-wide deployments.

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Gather AI (www.gather.ai) is expanding across North America, Europe and Asia. The firm’s leadership blends robotics research from Carnegie Mellon University with scaling experience from Amazon Robotics, applying advances in safe autonomy and 3D perception to solve intralogistics’ visibility and optimisation problems.
