About SVT Robotics

SVT Robotics is a Norfolk, Virginia-based company providing an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) specifically designed for supply chain automation. Founded in 2018 by co-founders A.K. Schultz and Michael Howes, the company has raised approximately .6 million in funding and employs 51-100 people. Their SOFTBOT Platform is a tech-agnostic integration solution enabling IT teams to connect enterprise systems to any robot in days without custom code. The platform offers reusable integrations ready to deploy with a single pane of glass for monitoring, orchestration, and performance tracking. SOFTBOT Connectors provide pre-built integrations to major supply chain technologies including WMS systems (Blue Yonder, Tecsys, Deposco), robotic solutions (6 River Systems, Locus Robotics, Hai Robotics), and packaging automation systems. Key features include rapid deployment with minimal IT burden, real-time monitoring and alerting, multi-site scalability using the same workflows, early issue detection and troubleshooting, and normalized data integration with APM and BI tools. Notable customers include Barrett Distribution Centers, Hagen Group, and various 3PL providers deploying solutions for robotics integration and packaging automation. SVT Robotics was featured in the 2024 Gartner Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, positioning them as addressing critical integration needs as "robot fleets grow." In March 2025, the company launched a cloud-based portal for multi-site automation monitoring through their Experience Center in Norfolk, Virginia.
