Enables companies to forecast the impact of tariffs, simulate risks, and optimize procurement and logistics using AI-powered decision-making
Aera Technology , the decision intelligence company , announced the launch of its new Tariff Mitigation Skill™ solution. Designed to unify supply chain data, forecast tariff impacts, adjust plans and actions in real time, and automate decisions, this solution helps companies reduce risk, protect margins, and remain agile in a changing trade environment.
According to Gartner®, “92% of supply chain executives cite increased costs as the top supply chain risk of the new U.S. government measures, and 45% of executives say passing the costs on to their customers is their top strategy for mitigating the new tariff costs*.” Companies that respond in real time to changes in pricing and product availability are best positioned to keep production lines running, fulfill downstream orders, and meet customer expectations in global markets.
“Tariff fluctuations are leading to increased complexity and new risks for global businesses,” said Fred Laluyaux, co-founder, president, and CEO of Aera Technology. “With decision intelligence, we help companies adapt to disruptive change by enabling optimal responses and fostering strategic agility. Today’s announcement underscores our continued commitment to innovative AI solutions that empower teams to manage change in real time and build resilient operations.”
