In their own words
GreyMatter
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.
Pyramid Director WES
Pyramid Director WES is warehouse execution software for distribution centers and omnichannel fulfillment operations. It connects WMS or ERP systems with warehouse processes and material-handling equipment without requiring changes to those systems; listed examples include Manhattan, High Jump, JDA, Oracle/Retek, SAP, Catalyst, EXE, and custom systems. The software provides operations metrics, exception diagnostics, equipment status, and inventory location by handling unit, wave, or batch. It can coordinate auto-boxing, auto-bagging, auto-labeling, and packing-list insertion for direct-to-consumer and retail orders. Real-time sorting covers packing, shipping, returns, and other fulfillment steps, with inventory accountability. Receiving includes ASN reconciliation; shipping can identify, weigh, dimension, sort, manifest, and load orders. Core applications include administration, simulation, logs, monitors, and database maintenance. Most deployments run on customer servers and networks. Pricing is available on request.
