Sente also understands the challenges of selling to enterprise customers and creating an ecosystem, so this partnership is a really good fit for us,” said Vivek Singh, COO of Hopstack. A program like Sente’s makes a lot of sense for us as we enter a new growth phase. “Industrial automation and logistics are complex markets, and there are hardly any ecosystems out there that have the needed sector depth and expertise. The Hopstack team is ready to capture this opportunity,” said Gerod Carfantan, COO of Sente Foundry.Īs part of Sente’s LogisticsTech portfolio, Hopstack will gain access to Sente’s broad base of logistics enterprise partners, collaborate with its peer technology startups, and receive support as they work to become a market leader in logistics infrastructure software. Hopstack’s digital control tower easily alleviates these problems. Plus, the pace and expectations of order fulfillment are putting enormous pressure on warehouses. Business systems such as ERP are not in sync with rapidly evolving warehouse management and automation systems. “Warehouses are experiencing similar growing pains with their digital and automation transformations as industrial systems.
