AI companies in the supply chain space will become easily replaceable, according to Valentina Jordan, CEO and co-founder of Nauta. The real competitive edge lies in the data foundation that powers the AI agents. Nauta's platform, which Jordan dubs an "operational brain," connects to a company's existing ERP, TMS, WMS, and OMS systems, as well as unstructured sources like email, Microsoft Teams, and spreadsheets, where the majority of operators conduct their work.
The brain continuously gathers contracts, arrival notices, payment terms, and external signals such as weather events and port disruptions, creating a comprehensive model of each company's operations. Current clients include food and retail distribution, manufacturing, and consumer brands like New Balance, L'Oréal, and Moët Chandon.
Nauta's focus on a data-first approach and strategic funding round with top industrial conglomerates signals the industry's growing recognition of the importance of contextualized data in unlocking AI's potential in global trade.
