SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CloudERP--Rootstock Software, a recognized leader in the Manufacturing ERP space, is thrilled to announce the launch of AIRS. Short for “Artificial Intelligence (AI) from Rootstock (RS),” this revolutionary AI-based solution designed to transform manufacturing decisions was unveiled at the Rooted-In Manufacturing Conference in New Orleans. AIRS marks a significant leap forward in harnessing data from the Signal Chain for predictive and generative AI power in decisioning.
Traditionally, a key challenge has been capturing and utilizing signals from across manufacturing —from demand and supply to production capacity—especially since the industry has lagged in digital maturity. The disjointed and siloed nature of existing systems has made it difficult for manufacturers to realize the full potential of Industry 4.0 technologies—such as big data and analytics, cloud computing, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Recognizing this challenge, Rootstock launched AIRS. Built on Salesforce Einstein 1 Platform, AIRS leverages Rootstock’s unique ERP dataset—including order, supply, financial, and production data. This dataset is collected from across the Signal Chain—from CRM, SCM, PLM, IoT platforms and other systems. As a result, AIRS enables a complete Signal Chain Decisioning Platform, as it bridges the physical and digital worlds and enables smart, autonomous decisions that will redefine manufacturing innovation.
"AIRS is not just another AI tool; it's AI that truly matters to manufacturers," said Raj Badarinath, Chief Product & Marketing Officer at Rootstock Software. "This product represents the culmination of our vision for a fully connected Signal Chain Decisioning Platform, serving as an AI savant that guides and augments our own decisioning abilities. With AIRS providing predictive insights, manufacturers can foresee risks and opportunities across their organization. And in response to continually incoming signals, AIRS can recalculate projections and enable dynamic adjustments to order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and plan-to-produce processes. As a result, it has the power to significantly enhance decisions in every facet of manufacturing operations."
AIRS will leverage both predictive and generative AI in transformative use cases, including:
"With these manufacturing-specific applications, AIRS will be central to driving a comprehensive Signal Chain Decisioning Platform,” said Badarinath. “It represents a significant step toward building agile manufacturing that can withstand continued volatility and disruptions. By leveraging Salesforce’s Einstein 1 Platform, we’re reimagining what's possible, setting new standards for supply chain resilience, customer satisfaction, and profitability in the sector."
Rootstock Software is excited to work with its customers to tailor AIRS capabilities to meet their specific business needs and unique decisioning parameters. The AIRS Center of Excellence (CoE), staffed with experienced data scientists, can help customers create custom data models that drive tailored decisioning initiatives. Currently, AIRS is in early adopter status, with general availability to be announced soon.

Today, companies combat low accuracy with cycle counting via barcode scanning. Still, these counts only partially represent inventory, and capacity constraints make it difficult for workers to survey the full warehouse. On average, inaccurate inventory can cost a business hundreds of thousands per year per warehouse and significant revenue loss in missed orders. Gather AI automates inventory visibility challenges through autonomous drones across third-party logistics, manufacturing, and retail facilities, with much richer data than warehouses can currently obtain with barcodes. Customers include NFI, GEODIS, DSV, Barrett Distribution, and DPI Specialty Foods (KeHE).
“Gather AI’s cutting-edge computer vision and workflow software, purpose-built for inventory monitoring, has seen significant commercial adoption and rapid growth separating them from the field of other venture-backed startups,” said Ajay Agarwal, partner at Bain Capital Ventures. “We are excited to welcome Gather AI to our portfolio of companies such as Kiva, ShipBob, FourKites, and Vention that are leveraging AI and software in the physical world.”
With the Gather AI solution, AI software enables drones to fly autonomously through warehouses, scanning 15 times faster than traditional means. Additional AI infers bar codes, text, empty locations, and other inventory-related information in the images, automatically comparing them with what’s in the warehouse management system (WMS). The warehouse manager can then view inventory data in real time from a web dashboard. Gather AI customers are seeing an ROI of 3-5x, driven by a 66% reduction in warehouse inventory database errors.
“The Gather AI solution seamlessly integrated into our warehouse operations, delivering swift results,” said Cody Merritt, Director of Solution Design and Innovation at NFI. “Our employees engaged well with the system, leading to a notable 5x productivity increase within five months using a single drone.”
“We’re already seeing the positive impact of Gather AI on customers spanning third-party logistics, retail, food and beverage, and manufacturing,” said Sankalp Arora, co-founder and CEO of Gather AI. “AI-powered cameras will transform supply-chain traceability to have a similar impact that barcodes did in the 1980s, and our technology is at the forefront of this transformation.”
Gather AI was founded in 2017 by co-founders Sankalp Arora, Daniel Maturana and Geetesh Dubey, after launching from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. Together, they have deep expertise in deep learning, autonomy, and computer vision.
Last year, the company doubled the number of warehouses it serves and increased bookings by 2.5x. This year, the company is poised to triple its operations thanks to customer expansion and continued strong market demand.
