CognitOps ALIGN adds analytics and an intelligence layer to existing order and warehouse management systems. It helps managers position workers at shift start and rebalance labor as availability, eligibility, and priorities change. The platform identifies fulfillment risks, ranks work by SLA and customer priority, and balances demand across business units or brands. ALIGN provides separate management dashboards for receiving, inventory, picking, packing, and shipping, along with productivity tracking, labor standards, and labor forecasting. CognitOps BENCHMARK gives near-real-time visibility and consistent metrics across distribution centers for supply-chain leaders. The platform can combine data from WMS, LMS, TMS, yard management, and other execution systems. CognitOps says it connects through standard APIs to systems including Manhattan, Blue Yonder, SAP, Oracle, Körber, Infor, Synapse/3PL Central, legacy AS/400, and home-grown WMS platforms. The connection reads WMS data without writing back or modifying transactions; most deployments go live within 6–8 weeks. CognitOps was formed in 2018 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. Pricing is custom quote.
