TLDR: Authentica has publicly launched an AI-native supply chain administration platform designed to provide deep-tier visibility, automate compliance, and manage risk for global buyers and importers. The solution leverages specialized AI agents to streamline operations, ensure regulatory adherence, and offer verifiable proof of shipments, addressing the complexities of modern supply chains amidst geopolitical shifts and evolving mandates.
TORONTO – Authentica today announced the public launch of its groundbreaking AI-native supply chain administration platform, poised to revolutionize global supply chain management. The innovative solution offers deep-tier visibility and automates critical functions such as compliance and risk management for buyers and importers worldwide. In an era marked by shifting tariffs, international sanctions, and stringent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) mandates, Authentica’s full-stack platform not only anticipates supply chain risks but actively works to mitigate them, providing essential verifiable proof to regulators, buyers, lenders, and insurers.
Michael Borg, Founder & CEO of Authentica, emphasized the transformative impact of current global dynamics, stating, “Geopolitics and AI are re-defining supply chains. The US government just announced $70 billion in new funding for border enforcement. Companies that can automate busywork while avoiding costly mistakes are the ones who will thrive.”
The platform is designed to eliminate manual data entry by securely ingesting emails and shipping documents. It deploys specialized AI agents for procurement, compliance, and certification, which autonomously manage tasks across the entire order-to-delivery lifecycle. These tasks range from anomaly detection and document generation to tariff classification, supplier mapping, and ensuring audit readiness. Authentica has also integrated safeguards to keep human oversight in the loop and maintain a clear, auditable trail of all agent actions.
Borg further highlighted the platform’s unique differentiator: “What makes Authentica unique is that users can back every automated step with real-world evidence of their shipments—verifying identity, origin, and condition at every stage. Unlike other systems that rely on trust alone, ours delivers proof.”
To bolster its verification capabilities, Authentica has forged strategic partnerships. This includes a collaboration with Control Union, a globally recognized leader in verifying supply chains through extensive testing, inspection, and certification services. Additionally, customers can authenticate products and their chain-of-custody using molecular testing solutions provided by Index Bio.
Beyond operational efficiencies, Authentica also unlocks new financial opportunities for its customers. Companies that reduce their risk profile through the platform gain access to innovative financial products, including the world’s first product authentication warranty, developed in collaboration with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., which can cover up to 100% of a shipment’s value.

The launch comes at a time when the integration of AI into supply chains is rapidly accelerating. Industry reports indicate that spending on generative AI for supply chains is projected to surge from approximately $2.7 billion today to $55 billion by 2029. This growth is driven by the necessity for automation and real-time intelligence to navigate tariff shifts, sanctions, and persistent supply disruptions. Major retailers like Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s, and Amazon are already leveraging AI to optimize inventory, while companies such as Schneider Electric have adopted AI to detect vulnerabilities and shift from ‘just-in-time’ to ‘just-in-case’ logistics. Authentica is now open for early access, with more information available at www.authenti.ca.
