GreyMatter is GreyOrange’s fulfillment orchestration platform for automating warehouse work with robotics. Its warehouse control system can direct robotic and human agents, while one instance coordinates goods-to-person, person-to-goods, and manual operations in a dark store. Supported processes include inventory management, dock-to-stock, storage and retrieval, replenishment, picking, putaway, order consolidation, sorting, audits, and packing. Real-time analytics, dashboards, capacity management, order SLA insights, inventory reports, and automated audits provide operational visibility. GreyMatter can consolidate orders across picking areas and dynamically manage service-level agreements. GreyOrange describes the platform as hardware-agnostic, able to coordinate Ranger robots and robots from other vendors without another control layer. An Open API covers catalog data, service requests, audits, reports, and process-flow triggers, with mandatory OAuth authentication. The dark-store solution can operate without a WMS or other third-party software. Pro, Power, and Premium options are listed with pricing on request.
