New warehouse software plans worker schedules and shows why work ran late

AutoScheduler.AI released warehouse software that plans crew sizes and shows why work ran late, so managers can fix the cause instead of just adding staff.

A Nashville company called AutoScheduler.AI has released software that plans warehouse worker schedules and explains why work ran late. It announced the product, AutoScheduler Labor Management, on Oct. 28, 2026. The company calls it the first labor management system built from the ground up around AI. That "first" is the company's own claim.

What changed

Older labor management software mostly measures. It tells managers after a shift whether workers hit their targets. People then have to work out what went wrong and build the next crew plan, often in spreadsheets.

This product tries to do that planning and analysis itself. It sizes crews using the actual plan for upcoming work and checks hour by hour that enough people are on hand when the work happens.

Why work runs late

The company's main pitch is diagnosis. Late work is not always a staffing problem. The company says managers can check whether the cause was labor capacity, stockouts, restocking, equipment limits, or the timing of when batches of orders were released to the floor.

CEO Keith Moore put it this way: if work is late because orders were released at the wrong time or inventory was missing, adding people will not fix it. The goal is to spot the real issue during the shift, not days or months later.

How it fits in

  • It works alongside a site's existing warehouse management system rather than replacing it.
  • Managers can filter by site, shift and week, then drill into the detail behind any gap.
  • Users can ask a built-in assistant how a number was calculated and get an answer in plain English.

Sites start from a ready-made template, adjust it to their own standards, zones and shifts, and go live in what the company says is a few weeks.

Build your own tools

The company also says planners and supervisors can describe a view or workflow in plain language and its AI App Builder will create it from their own data. That tool launched in September. Customers are already building labor forecasting, team scorecards, game-style incentives and dock flow tools, according to the company.

What is not known yet

The announcement does not give a price. It also shares no customer results or numbers showing how much it cuts delays or labor costs. The claims come from the company, and nothing in the announcement shows they have been checked independently. Warehouse operators considering it will want to ask for pricing and for examples from sites like theirs.

The takeaway

If late shifts keep hitting your warehouse, ask whether the cause is staffing or something upstream like order timing or missing stock before paying for more labor.
