Gelato accelerates printer and carrier onboarding via CrewAI multi-agent integration
The problem
Printers joining Gelato's network had to manually map as many as 200,000 SKUs, a task that took 9–24 months and often stalled, costing both sides revenue. Separately, adding new logistics carriers required days of engineering effort, slowing global expansion.

Printer or carrier onboarding
Trigger
Printers joining Gelato's network need to map as many as 200,000 SKUs, and adding new logistics carriers requires engineering effort.

Multi-agent data mapping and integration
Ai action
CrewAI's agent framework plugs into Gelato Connect, automating heavy data-mapping and integration work while remaining invisible to end-users.

Accelerated integration outcomes
Output
Agent deployments slashed SKU-mapping timelines by over 90% and cut carrier-integration effort by roughly 99%.
▾ source quote
“Early agent deployments slashed SKU‑mapping timelines by >90 % and cut carrier‑integration effort by ~99 %, enabling printers to accept new customers sooner and Gelato to accelerate global coverage—all without proportional increases in headcount”
Reported outcome
Agent deployments slashed SKU-mapping timelines by over 90% and cut carrier-integration effort by roughly 99%, with carrier integration dropping from 5 days to 10 minutes, all without proportional increases in headcount.
