Aera Technology to Present Agentic Decision Intelligence at Gartner® Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ 2026

Aera Technology today announced it will host two customer speaking sessions at Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™, Orlando, taking place May 4-6. Leaders from The Estée Lauder Companies and Kerry Group will share how decision intelligence is transforming how work gets done and value is unlocked across global supply chains. Discussions will highlight approaches to early adoption and enterprise-scale deployment to break down silos and connect decisions across functions and processes — reducing waste, improving service, and enabling more agile, sustainable, and resilient operations.

Using Aera agentic decision intelligence, organizations across industries are realizing the advantages of faster, more accurate decisions and optimizing performance and service in real time. Increasingly seen as a new operating layer, Aera continuously senses conditions, evaluates trade-offs, executes governed, autonomous actions, and learns from every outcome to improve decision-making over time. Gartner predicts that “by 2030, explicitly modeled business decisions will be five times more trusted and 80% faster than ungoverned decisions, enabled by decision intelligence platform adoption.”*
