WareBee named a finalist in the ProMat 2025 StartUp Pitch Competition
WareBee exhibited at ProMat 2025, held 17–20 March at McCormick Place in Chicago — one of the largest manufacturing and supply chain trade shows in North America — from booth E11500SP in the StartUp Pavilion (Lakeside Center, Hall D), and was selected as one of three finalists in the StartUp Pitch Competition.
The competition, run by MHI, put each finalist — Cartken, Freespace Robotics and WareBee — on stage on Tuesday 18 March for an eight-minute pitch followed by a seven-minute Q&A with a judging panel of supply chain experts.
We pitched what we do best: the WareBee digital twin, which lets warehouse operators visualise their operations, analyse performance and optimise slotting — improving throughput without ripping out their existing WMS.
Congratulations to Freespace Robotics, who took home the win with their order-fulfilment AS/RS cube. Being on that stage alongside two excellent teams — and talking warehouse optimisation with so many operators over the week — made ProMat 2025 a milestone for us.
