This release outlines how Tulip’s acquisition of Akooda is designed to expand its integrated AI capabilities and strengthen real-time operational intelligence for frontline teams.

Tulip has acquired Akooda, an artificial intelligence company based in Boston and Tel Aviv specializing in contextual enterprise data and real-time operational visibility. The acquisition expands Tulip’s AI capabilities, supporting its efforts to strengthen integrated intelligence across its frontline operations platform.
Founded in 2021, Akooda developed technologies that contextualize enterprise data to identify workflow patterns, performance constraints, and decision points at scale. Its team brings expertise in AI, large language models, and enterprise search technologies, strengthening Tulip’s ability to support frontline workers with intelligence embedded into daily workflows.
Key areas of integration include:
Contextual data modeling for industrial workflows.
Enhanced intelligence for operational decision-making.
AI-supported insights for performance, bottlenecks, and process optimization.
Expanded capabilities within Tulip’s composable operations architecture.
As part of the acquisition, Akooda’s team will join Tulip’s AI and Product organizations, collaborating with engineering teams in Munich. This structure is intended to support the development of AI-enabled capabilities that help industrial users gain deeper visibility into operations, identify inefficiencies, and improve responsiveness across production environments.
The acquisition aligns with Tulip’s broader focus on Composable Operations, a modular approach to digital transformation that enables enterprises to adapt workflows using flexible, interoperable technologies. By integrating Akooda’s AI capabilities, Tulip aims to further develop real-time industrial intelligence that supports faster, safer, and more informed decision-making. This also reflects the company’s emphasis on operational systems that evolve with changing production requirements and data environments.
This development supports a growing market need for industrial platforms that unify data, connect contexts across teams, and provide actionable intelligence without requiring large-scale system replacement. Tulip’s integration of Akooda’s capabilities is intended to accelerate its roadmap and strengthen support for customers adopting digital, AI-ready operations.
