Softeon Named a Sample Vendor in Gartner Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2025 and Hype Cycle for Mobile Robots and Drones, 2025 Reports
by Mike Catalino
We’re excited to share that Softeon has been named a Sample Vendor in Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2025, and Hype Cycle for Mobile Robots and Drones, 2025 reports.
According to Gartner, Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.
This post provides consolidated summary of both reports and how Softeon stays on the forefront of supply chain trends.
How Warehouse Automation is Transforming the Supply Chain
As companies expand their robotics usage, most will eventually have heterogeneous fleets of robots from different vendors performing various tasks, which will require standardized software that can easily integrate into a variety of agents and robot platforms.
See Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution and Logistics Technologies, 2025 below.
According to the Gartner research, “as robot fleets grow, simple point-to-point API integration will not be enough. Companies will need an accelerated integration and orchestration capability that can assign work to the right robots or agents based on near-real-time information and the type of activity.”
“This will reduce the time, effort and cost to onboard new robots and will reduce support cost, ultimately making organizations more efficient because work will be assigned to the robot best suited for the task.”

At Softeon, we are committed to enabling seamless integration across heterogeneous robotic platforms through our advanced Warehouse Execution System (WES).
The Push for Faster, Smarter Fulfilment
As per the Gartner research, “WESs can extend the reach of traditional WMS solutions by adding more robust and flexible work management and orchestration capabilities, which will be needed in high-volume, high-velocity warehouse environments. The complex picking needs of warehouses with high order-line volumes were not fully addressed with traditional WMSs, which drove the need for WESs.”
Softeon’s WES seamlessly integrates with our WMS, providing advanced orchestration capabilities to meet these evolving demands. By optimizing workflows and enabling smarter task assignments, Softeon empowers businesses to achieve greater efficiency, flexibility, and scalability.
