Salesforce to acquire Rune Technologies for $375 million

Salesforce has agreed to acquire Rune Technologies for $375 million in cash and stock to bolster its defense-technology capabilities. The acquisition aims to integrate Rune’s logistics software into Salesforce’s Missionforce business unit, which serves national security and defense agencies.

Rune Technologies develops AI-driven software, including its TyrOS product, designed to assist the U.S. military with supply planning and logistics. A key feature of the software is its ability to provide predictive analytics and decision support even when field units lose network access, allowing planning to continue offline and syncing data once connectivity is restored.

The integration is expected to expand Missionforce from administrative planning into frontline battlefield operations by linking back-office coordination with real-time logistics data from the field. Salesforce reported that its defense business has seen 80% year-over-year growth and currently serves all six branches of the U.S. military.
