It streamlines warehouse operations by facilitating the rapid integration of robots from multiple vendors, thus fostering efficient decision-making and task coordination.

This positions Softeon at the forefront of managing some of the world’s most complex, highly automated warehouses effectively.

“We are honored to once again be named a Magic Quadrant Visionary in Warehouse Management Systems by Gartner,” said Jim Hoefflin, CEO of Softeon. “We believe this recognition is a nod at our commitment to serve and prepare our customers to grow through the ebbs and flows of the ever-changing warehousing market. Furthermore, it is validation of our innovative capabilities and solutions road map.”

Supported by a committed tech support team and the industry's top experts, Softeon's WMS revolutionizes operations for businesses in complex, high-demand, and unpredictable sectors aiming to enhance growth and efficiency. The proof of Softeon's capacity to assist clients in scaling their operations is clearly reflected in its own significant growth, demonstrating the system's effectiveness and the value it brings to every customer.

For Softeon, recognition of its forward-looking and innovative WMS by Gartner for a second year in a row is the latest in callouts pertaining to the company's significant growth. In addition to being named a leader by G2, Softeon recently announced office expansions in India and Atlanta, a rebrand, and updated WMS and WES solutions. The WMS provider also introduced a new executive leadership team, and hosted a customer-focused leadership forum - all in commitment to delivering limitless customer-centric solutions for propelling businesses through the ever-changing warehousing challenges.
