Vimaan Named A Cool Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Cool Vendors For Logistics Technology Report

Reducing labor requirements and improving inventory accuracy provides Vimaan customers with unprecedented value

Vimaan Named A Cool Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Cool Vendors For Logistics Technology Report

Vimaan, the industry leading provider of computer vision solutions for warehouse inventory tracking and visibility, today announced that it has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor for Logistics Technology . This announcement follows a rapid time of growth for Vimaan in which the company has deployed AI-enabled warehouse tracking technology to some of the most well-known 3PLs, brands and retailers in the world. By deploying Vimaan technologies, these companies have been successful in streamlining their labor requirements and boosting their overall inventory accuracy levels. “Gartner provides research and advisory services to companies looking to leverage technology to solve real-world challenges,” said KG Ganapathi, Founder and CEO of Vimaan. “For us, this is a real acknowledgement and tremendous validation that we are delivering real value to the logistics and supply chain industries.”

The report states that “logistics organizations remain under pressure to control costs while dealing with unprecedented labor challenges.”


As one of the areas with the highest labor attrition rates, warehouses are being asked to reduce their dependencies on expensive and difficult to source workers. Vimaan computer vision solutions are being used to supplant hard to find labor across the warehouse including at the dock doors, storage racks and packing stations. “Scanning and tracking warehouse inventory with labor is very time consuming and expensive,” Ganapathi states. “As a result, inventory accuracy suffers and downstream processes are impacted; inventory gets lost, picking productivity suffers and costly chargebacks become a regular occurrence. Regardless of the WMS a warehouse uses, if the process for collecting data is inconsistent and unreliable than your data will reflect that.”

Vimaan captures inventory across several critical inventory workflows including receiving and shipping. DockTRACK Pallet allows warehouses to quickly scan all 5 sides of a pallet, count cases, dimension and even inspect for damages. Vimaan also provides DockTRACK Parcel, a comparable solution for incoming and outgoing packages. StorTRACK is a new solution launched by Vimaan earlier this year, has become enormously popular with customers for its ability to facilitate and automate cycle count activities. All Vimaan solutions interface with an intuitive WMS integration layer, ViewDECK, a web-based application that provides actionable insights and is accessible by inventory management personnel.

“For us, this is a real acknowledgement and tremendous validation that we are delivering real value to the logistics and supply chain industries.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
