Gather AI secures $40M Series B to expand its physical AI platform, which uses drones and computer vision to automate warehouse inventory tracking, achieving 99.9% accuracy.

Gather AI, a developer of physical AI for logistics, has raised $40 million in Series B funding led by Smith Point Capital Management, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Tribeca Venture Partners, and others. The company has now raised $74 million total. The funding follows a year of strong growth, with Gather AI doubling its operational footprint and growing bookings by 250%.

Key takeaways

  • Gather AI's platform uses drones and computer vision to continuously monitor warehouse inventory, bridging the gap between physical stock and digital records.
  • Customers achieve 99.9% inventory accuracy, reduce manual counting effort by up to 80%, and improve productivity by 5x.
  • Most customers see ROI in under six months, with deployments across major logistics and manufacturing firms including Geodis, NFI Industries, and Axon.
  • The new funding will accelerate expansion to hundreds of additional facilities globally and support development of predictive capabilities for proactive inventory management.

The platform trains its AI models on millions of proprietary warehouse images, enabling robots to operate in complex environments where standard sensors fail. This automated oversight helps identify bottlenecks in real-time and optimize workflows, transforming warehouses into intelligent nodes for supply chain reliability. Gather AI plans to showcase its platform at Manifest and MODEX in 2026.
