Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Rune Technologies
Salesforce will acquire Rune Technologies to expand its Missionforce portfolio with edge-native logistics tools for frontline military operations, enhancing real-time decision-making in disconnected environments.
Salesforce announced a definitive agreement to acquire Rune Technologies, a provider of edge-native technology designed to support U.S. military and allied logistics and sustainment operations. The company’s solutions enable frontline teams to forecast supply needs, optimize resources, and make mission-critical decisions, particularly in environments with limited or no connectivity. Rune Technologies bridges the gap between enterprise systems tracking personnel, equipment, and supplies and real-time operational data used by military logisticians and commanders. The acquisition aims to strengthen Salesforce’s Missionforce portfolio by adding purpose-built super intelligence capabilities for logistics at the tactical edge.
The deal marks Salesforce’s most significant national security-focused acquisition, reinforcing its commitment to mission readiness and supporting military personnel. It builds on the growing adoption of Missionforce, which has seen an 80% year-over-year growth in defense business and includes customers across all six branches of the U.S. military. Recent milestones include a 10-year U.S. Army contract with a $5.6 billion ceiling to modernize operations, further establishing Salesforce’s role in defense modernization.
Rune Technologies’ technology operates in denied, degraded, intermittent, or limited connectivity environments, synchronizing data with enterprise systems when network access is restored. Its platform provides situational intelligence, simulation, and optimization models to forecast demand, recommend resource allocation, and evaluate logistics plans before and during operations. The company is already deployed with the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps, addressing sustainment challenges faced by frontline units.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027, pending customary closing conditions. Salesforce’s Kendall Collins highlighted the acquisition’s role in advancing an edge-to-enterprise platform for continuous mission readiness, while Rune Technologies’ CEO David Tuttle emphasized the importance of connecting frontline logistics with enterprise systems to support faster, more informed decision-making.
