The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) is proud to announce Gather AI as the winner of the inaugural EDGE Startup Excellence Award, presented during CSCMP’s EDGE Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition in National Harbor, Maryland. The award recognizes emerging companies transforming supply chain management through bold ideas, practical innovation, and measurable impact.
“The EDGE Startup Excellence Award was created to recognize innovation that drives real change in supply chain operations,” said Art Mesher, a longtime supply chain thought leader. “This year’s finalists demonstrated remarkable creativity and impact, and Gather AI stood out for its ability to solve a critical industry challenge with both ingenuity and measurable results.”
“Thank you to CSCMP for honoring us with the EDGE Startup Excellence Award. At Gather AI, our mission is to give intralogistics teams a co-pilot that turns the physical movements of their warehouses into real-time intelligence,” said Gather AI Head of Marketing, Rob Rozicki. “By combining AI with live data from drones, forklifts, and connected equipment, we’re helping customers move from reactive operations to proactive decision-making – achieving up to 70% higher inventory accuracy and 5x productivity gains. This award is a testament to the hard work of our team, the trust of our customers, and the shared belief that data-driven visibility is the future of the supply chain.”
Gather AI’s AI co-pilot integrates real-time visual intelligence with analytics to help logistics teams make faster, smarter decisions and stay ahead of disruptions.
