Aera Technology Receives Investment from Accenture

The company plans to use the funds to expand its operations and continue developing its technology.

Aera Technology is a company focused on agentic decision intelligence for enterprises. Together, Aera and Accenture will combine Aera’s decision intelligence platform with Accenture’s AI-powered supply chain expertise to provide real-time, AI-driven decision-making solutions for complex global supply chains across industries such as consumer goods, high-tech, life sciences, mining, and oil and gas.

Many supply chains still rely on fragmented, manual processes and most companies are only at the early stages of adopting autonomous technologies. According to Accenture research, the average level of supply chain automation remains low, making it harder for businesses to stay competitive, and resilient during disruptions.

Aera’s agentic decision intelligence platform helps companies improve supply chain operations using AI, real-time data, and automation. Its AI agents continuously monitor changes, improve supply-and-demand decisions, and take actions across business operations. The system also learns from past results, helping companies become more efficient, agile, and cost-effective.

“The massive volatility in the supply chains today requires AI-enabled decision-making, which we are using to identify and avoid a problem before it occurs,” said Douglas Guilherme, global supply chain senior vice president at The Hershey Company. “Accenture and Aera’s partnership is a testament to where next-generation supply chains are headed, and we’re looking forward to seeing the solutions their collaboration will deliver.”

“The opportunity in front of us is extraordinary. Decision intelligence is enabling a new operating model where intelligent systems manage complexity at speed and scale, and people focus on strategy and performance,” said Fred Laluyaux, Co-Founder and CEO, Aera Technology. “At Aera, we see this shift firsthand, and together with Accenture, we’re accelerating how organizations scale this capability so they can operate with greater precision, speed, and impact.”

“Today’s business environment is constantly stress-testing supply chains,” said Chris McDivitt, global lead for autonomous supply chains at Accenture. “The speed at which decisions are required to balance costs and services is outstripping what manual, siloed processes can sustain. Our partnership with Aera Technology will enable highly resilient, AI-enabled supply chains that can sense change before disruption hits, equip our clients’ supply chain teams with recommendations on how to act, and execute many of those decisions automatically under human oversight.”
