Warehouse automation technology vendor GreyOrange has raised $135 million in financing and will use the capital to accelerate its technology, continue its global expansion, and support the adoption of GreyOrange’s fulfillment orchestration platform in warehouses, distribution centers, and retail stores, the company said today.

The “series D” venture capital round was led by Anthelion Capital (formerly Cowen Sustainable Investments) and follows previous investments by Mithril, 3State Ventures, and Blume Ventures. 

Roswell, Georgia-based GreyOrange says its approach to transforming warehouse and retail store operations combines a hardware-agnostic software platform with a dynamic range of certified robotic and sensing technologies.

“Not only has GreyOrange automated the movement of goods within the warehouse, but the company has also built a network that optimizes how retailers move their goods across their entire supply chain,” Vusal Najafov, co-founder of Anthelion Capital, said in a release. "Their capability to improve operational efficiency in various settings and their innovative approach in transforming inventory into a more productive asset in warehouses and retail spaces are key reasons for our excitement in leading this funding round."

Logistics industry growth slowed in December due to a seasonal wind-down of inventory and following one of the busiest holiday shopping seasons on record, according to the latest Logistics Managers’ Index (LMI) report, released this week.

The monthly LMI was 57.3 in December, down more than a percentage point from November’s reading of 58.4. Despite the slowdown, economic activity across the industry continued to expand, as an LMI reading above 50 indicates growth and a reading below 50 indicates contraction.

Strike threat lingers at ports as January 15 deadline nears

Retailers and manufacturers across the country are keeping a watchful eye on negotiations starting tomorrow to draft a new contract for dockworkers at East coast and Gulf coast ports, as the clock ticks down to a potential strike beginning at midnight on January 15.

Representatives from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) last spoke in October, when they agreed to end a three-day strike by striking a tentative deal on a wage hike for workers, and delayed debate over the thornier issue of port operators’ desire to add increased automation to port operations.
