pyck is a deeptech startup founded in 2023 that builds an open-source warehouse management system (WMS) framework powered by AI and process automation.[1][2][3][4] It serves logistics and e-commerce providers by enabling modular, customizable software that implements 60% faster and more cost-effectively than traditional WMS, solving the rigidity of legacy systems through flexibility, rapid adaptation, and AI-driven optimization.[1][2][4] With €2.6 million in funding, pyck shows strong early momentum, including implementations at three large logistics firms within a year of launch and plans for team expansion and international scaling.[2]
The company's mission is to form the backbone of future warehouse systems, empowering users to build, run, and maintain logistics software, with a vision that every physical product worldwide will touch pyck within a decade.[1]
pyck emerged in 2023 from Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, when founders Daniel Jarr (PhD, former Head of Innovation at Dematic), Maximilian Mack (CTO with 17 years in software development and serial founder), and Matthias Nagel (experienced in logistics and software) identified the constraints of traditional WMS.[1][2][3] Jarr observed customers' demand for AI optimization blocked by outdated software, while Mack saw legacy systems hindering flexibility; together with Nagel, they created a limitless, open-source alternative.[1][2]
Early traction built quickly: post-launch, pyck secured €2.6 million from investors like IRIS, enabling product enhancements like a new data management module and deployments at major logistics companies.[2][3]
pyck rides the wave of AI transformation in logistics, addressing outdated WMS amid e-commerce growth and automation demands, where standard solutions fail unique warehouse needs.[2][3][4] Its timing aligns with industry renewal through deep tech—open architectures enable faster AI adoption, customization, and cost reductions up to 60%, fueling scalable intralogistics.[1][2] By pioneering modular, open-source infrastructure, pyck influences the ecosystem, empowering operators worldwide, reducing vendor dependencies, and setting standards for sustainable, adaptable fulfillment in a post-legacy era.[1][3][4]
pyck is positioned to disrupt warehousing with its open-source, AI-ready framework, expanding via recent funding into international markets, team growth, and modules like flexible data management.[2] Trends like AI proliferation, e-commerce surges, and automation will amplify its edge, potentially realizing its vision of ubiquitous product touchpoints. Its influence may evolve from niche innovator to industry backbone, as community adoption accelerates and large-scale deployments prove scalability—redefining fulfillment from rigid constraints to boundless potential.[1][2][3][4]
