Logistify AI was founded in 2019 by 3 brothers — Daniel Emaasit, Noel Etyang & Tobias Tukei — to solve a family problem i.e. fill their parent's empty warehouse. The brothers initially launched an on-demand warehousing company for B2B e-commerce businesses and they fully managed inventory for startups like Sendy, Marketforce (YC S20), Kapu Africa, SUKHIBA, in 10 massive warehouses occupying 70,000 square feet. It was during this 4-year period that they faced the pain point of manual, repetitive, time consuming & labor intensive tasks while managing inventory. They built an Inventory Management System (IMS) to try to automate these tasks, but the automations were mostly rule-based. As luck would have it, in 2022 OpenAI released ChatGPT - an AI virtual assistant that reasons like a human being. Suddenly it was possible to fully automate inventory management workflows using this type of AI. They pivoted the company to bring ChatGPT-like automations to logistics and supply chain managers like themselves. Today, Logistify AI is "The AI Assistant for the logistics and supply chain industry".
