Top Hat Engineering is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business that elevates warehouse optimization through its comprehensive software suite, Clarity. The platform integrates five machine learning-powered modules to optimize processes and increase throughput across all aspects of warehouse operations.

Across the industry, supervisors and managers often juggle multiple applications to monitor basic operational metrics. This constant switching between fragmented data consumes time, reduces visibility and makes it harder to obtain a real-time view of warehouse operations.

Clarity addresses these challenges by aggregating all operational metrics in one unified interface. Supervisors no longer need to manually extract and organize information. The platform analyzes operational inputs and recommends decisions on behalf of supervisors, who can simply review and approve them. This method transforms traditional warehouse management into an intelligent and adaptive system that reduces manual effort and enhances operational efficiency.

“We built Clarity from the operator’s point of view, because we’ve been in their shoes,” says Brennan Jackson, VP, sales & marketing.

With many team members having worked in the same operational roles as their customers, Top Hat Engineering brings firsthand understanding of warehouse challenges. This insider perspective shapes every solution they design. They are driven by a genuine intent to make a meaningful difference for each customer rather than meeting sales quotas.

A Data-Led Approach to Operational Excellence

Each of Clarity’s five modules is designed to address a critical area of warehouse performance.

Clear Flow orchestrates the flow of tasks and orders to balance workloads and ensure operations move seamlessly. Synchronizing robotics, conveyors and automation systems, Clear Gear maintains the continuous movement of goods and eliminates downtime. While machines stay coordinated, people stay empowered with Clear Team tracking workforce utilization and guiding supervisors with real-time information on performance and productivity. Clear Slot delivers dynamic inventory optimization. It uses heat map visualizations to identify the most efficient product placements and generates automated slotting recommendations based on velocity and pick patterns. Clear Pick introduces guided picking workflows that adapt to any environment, whether using wearables, handheld devices, lights, or voice systems. It provides optimized routes, real-time feedback, and quality control checks that reduce errors by up to 95 percent.
