Nauta Named One of the Top 10 Supply Chain Startups of 2026

Nauta has been named one of the Top 10 Supply Chain Startups of 2026 by Supply Chain Digital, a recognition that places the company among the teams reshaping how global supply chains operate. The list reflects a broader shift in the industry. For years, supply chain technology promised visibility. Dashboards multiplied, data accumulated, and teams gained a clearer picture of what was happening. What they did not gain was action. Knowing that a shipment is late is not the same as rerouting it. Watching a margin erode is not the same as protecting it.

Nauta was built for the second half of that equation: the infrastructure data layer underneath.

The foundation is data.

Operational data inside a global supply chain is fragmented by design. It is scattered across ERP, TMS, and WMS systems, buried in documents, and trapped in email threads between buyers, suppliers, and carriers. Before any of it can drive a decision, it has to be harmonized. Nauta is building the unified data infrastructure underneath global supply chains, bringing fragmented operational data from across every system, document, and email into a single AI-native data layer. That layer is what makes everything above it possible.

A workforce that acts

On top of that foundation, Nauta runs an agentic workforce organized into four operational pillars. These agents work around the clock, and they act rather than report. They resolve exceptions before they escalate, draft purchase orders, coordinate suppliers, reroute shipments when conditions change, and protect margin across the flow of goods.

Trusted where it counts

This approach is already operating at scale. Nauta is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports distributors handling brands including New Balance, Modelo, and L'Oreal among others, with data managed for enterprises representing over $15 billion in annual sales.

AI-native supply chain intelligence for a world that never stops.
