# Salesforce Acquires Rune for Defense Logistics

Salesforce has agreed to acquire defense logistics software startup Rune Technologies, with TechCrunch reporting a **$375 million** cash-and-stock deal and Washington Technology reporting that financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of Salesforce’s fiscal year on January 31. Rune’s TyrOS software is used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps in disconnected operating environments, and Salesforce plans to integrate Rune’s tools with its Missionforce offering. The deal follows a reported 10-year, $5.6 billion Army contract and expands Salesforce’s defense portfolio into tactical-edge logistics and sustainment.

- The integration could affect Army and Marine Corps demand for logistics tools that support resource visibility, sustainment, and workflows in disconnected environments.
- Contractors developing edge logistics, AI-enabled planning, or workflow automation capabilities should assess how their offerings differentiate from an expanded Missionforce portfolio.
- Procurement teams can evaluate how Rune’s existing TyrOS use and the reported Army contract relate to current or future requirements; the signals do not specify contract numbers or implementation timelines.
