What Airudi does

Airudi is a Canadian applied-AI company founded in 2019 that builds an Operational Intelligence Platform for complex, mission-critical environments. The platform unifies three capability layers — Predict (demand forecasting, risk and anomaly detection, workforce capacity planning), Optimize (schedule and shift optimization, route and fleet allocation, capacity and inventory balancing), and Automate (AI agents, automated dispatch and replenishment, closed-loop decision agents with human-in-the-loop approvals) — and is deployed across four verticals: Healthcare, Transportation & Logistics, Manufacturing, and Defense. Models are trained on each client's own operational data rather than generic datasets, with reported production benchmarks of 95% prediction accuracy and 30% reduction in planning errors, serving enterprise and government customers such as MUHC, Urgences Santé, Soget, and CISS with 25,000+ end users across deployments.

The company is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, with a regional office in Dakar, Senegal, supporting operations across North America, Europe, and Africa, and holds ISO 27001 certification. Its technology stack integrates directly with existing TMS, WMS, and ERP systems rather than operating alongside them, and Airudi maintains strategic research and ecosystem alliances with MILA, IVADO Labs, SCALE AI, and Polytechnique Montréal. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales, driven by "Book a Strategic Call" consultation CTAs rather than self-serve or channel-based distribution.

Airudi monetizes through two streams: professional services for end-to-end AI transformation from strategy roadmaps through production deployment, and subscription/recurring revenue from ongoing AI solutions integrated into client operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a bespoke, quote-based enterprise model. The company is privately held with no parent company disclosed, has been led since founding by CEO and co-founder Pape Wade alongside co-founder and VP of Operations Amanda Arciero Cria, and reports a headcount of 1–10 employees.

Core offering

Airudi provides an AI-powered operational intelligence platform that helps organizations in healthcare, transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and defense predict demand, optimize scheduling and fleet allocation, and automate operational decisions. The platform combines predictive models, optimization algorithms, and agentic AI in a Predict-Optimize-Automate architecture that integrates with existing TMS, WMS, and ERP systems.

Product overview

Airudi is a single unified AI platform for operational intelligence, not a modular suite of separate products. The platform consists of three integrated capability layers — Predict, Optimize, and Automate — applied across four industry verticals (Healthcare, Transportation & Logistics, Manufacturing, Defense). The same underlying platform is deployed in each vertical, with models tailored to the operational reality of each environment. There are no separately branded sub-products or add-on modules — all capabilities are delivered through the core Operational Intelligence Platform.
