These awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, honorees provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.

“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, Editorial Director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”

“IHL Group 2026 research puts the annual global cost of inventory distortion at $1.7 trillion. And with modern consumers’ next-day delivery expectations, companies cannot afford warehouse inventory mishaps,” says Sankalp Arora, co-founder and CEO of Gather AI. “Being named an Inc. Power Partner two years in a row shows that our customers like GEODIS, Barrett Distribution Centers, and Axon have seen tangible success from our work together. Our Physical AI platform, Prana, gives every facility one current picture of the warehouse floor and the intelligence to act on it, continuously.”

Gather AI combines computer vision from drones, forklift-mounted cameras, and other sensors with existing WMS and ERP data, reasons over what it finds, and routes action to the right system or person, creating dock-to-dock intelligence across logistics networks.

To demonstrate the depth of data collected over the years, Gather AI has:

  • Identified nearly 27 million individual products, averaging one every 4.5 seconds
  • Conducted more than 220,000 autonomous flights, more takeoffs than LaGuardia handles in a year
  • Flown an estimated 19,000 miles, almost 8x the width of the U.S.

Customers see the difference in their day-to-day work. GEODIS cut manual inventory counting from 4,400 hours a year to 800. NFI saw a 5x increase in operational productivity, and Langham Logistics went from 20 to 30 pallet emergencies a day to one or two. Gather AI delivers 99.9% accuracy from shelf to record, and customers typically see ROI within six months.

Gather AI received three other awards from Mansueto Ventures publications over the past year:

Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies, the Inc. Regionals: Northeast list, and the Inc. 5000 list.
