Our take
Aera Technology is an intelligent automation company helping enterprises “self-drive.” Its key product, Aera, integrates with existing systems and predicts outcomes for businesses, makes recommendations, and acts autonomously at scale to save money and streamline business operations.
Whilst over a half of companies currently employ intelligent automation in some capacity, adopting it at scale has to date proven complicated. With the past few years proving drastically and continuously disruptive for many industries, the value of broad intelligent automation that helps navigate complex and choppy waters is clear - and Aera hopes to provide precisely that.
Aera Technology has been smart to stress that the concrete benefits of this product extend beyond saving time and money, and in fact have material social benefits like improving healthcare results or reducing traffic accidents. This may help nudge more users on board as the company expands its customer base beyond select clientele, which includes the likes of Unilever and Merck.
