Ware, a San Francisco-based company recently acquired by Gather AI, combines the smartest Skydio drones with powerful software to deliver accurate inventory reports straight into customers' WMSs. It works at the intersection of drones and cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Combine indoor drones with proprietary AI, and you've got Ware—the first scalable solution for warehouse inventory automation.
When drones fly around indoors, one thing is certain: there’s no room for error. Like every project that works within pre-established limits, the biggest challenge is that there’s no one to copy and nowhere to learn from—you have to create, design, define, and make your journey. That's exactly how we set out to help Ware.
We had to deliver value in real time, accurately and trustworthyly, so that warehouse operators could have a clear picture of their warehouse’s status—usable data that could allow them to make logistic, stocking, and distribution decisions. We used React.js for the front end, which allowed us to create a modern interface with an intuitive user experience that adapts to a warehouse user’s profile.
At present, Ware is a resounding success in the facilities that acquire it, and it’s one of the startups in which we, having seen many go through our offices, have great expectations of enormous growth. The constant feedback we get from users always refers to usability, the value of the data, and how it has made their operations much more manageable, given that traditionally, they were done manually. We have also been told that even from a marketing point of view, it’s a great asset because... let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to see drones flying inside a warehouse?
