Rufus Labs

Workforce automation, operations intelligence and labor management for supply chain. That is the short version of Rufus Labs. The job it does: connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

The natural audience is manufacturers and operators. They also list Enterprise, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Warehouse Automation and Warehousing, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Rufus Labs is based in Los Angeles, California and around since 2016. Their site is getrufus.com.

Our checklist for this category: hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Rufus Labs, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
