Saudi-based healthcare supply chain platform Aumet has raised USD 12 million in a Series A funding round to expand its AI-powered procurement operating system across healthcare systems in the GCC and international markets.
The round was led by Emkan Capital, with participation from Qatar Development Bank, SABAH Fund, and AAIC. Existing investors Shorooq Partners and Right Side Capital Management also joined the round, alongside healthcare-focused investors Cigalah Group and Salehiya Trading Company.
Founded by Yahya Aqel and Adel Haddad, Aumet operates an AI-first procurement operating system designed for pharmacies, hospitals, suppliers, and healthcare systems. The company currently operates across Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Oman.
“At Aumet, we are building the AI-first operating system that powers procurement decisions across the entire healthcare ecosystem — from individual pharmacies to national healthcare systems. Our ambition is to take what we’ve built in the Middle East and scale it globally,” said Yahya Aqel.
Aumet’s platform operates across three product layers. Its “Pulse” platform is a cloud-based system designed for individual pharmacies, integrating inventory management, marketplace access, and AI-powered procurement automation. “Chain” targets pharmacy chains, enabling centralized procurement and AI-driven decision-making across multiple branches. Meanwhile, “Enterprise” is focused on hospitals, ministries of health, and national healthcare systems through an AI-powered cognitive procurement operating system.
The funding comes as healthcare supply chains across emerging markets continue to face fragmentation and operational inefficiencies caused by disconnected legacy systems. Aumet is positioning itself as a digital infrastructure layer connecting procurement, inventory management, and operational decision-making into a unified platform.
The raise also reflects growing investor interest in healthcare infrastructure technology and enterprise AI applications across the MENA region. Industry observers note that regional startups are increasingly shifting beyond marketplace models toward infrastructure-focused enterprise software solutions.
With the fresh capital, Aumet plans to enhance its AI capabilities, scale its Pulse platform globally, expand enterprise deployments, and enter additional GCC markets. The company’s next growth phase is expected to focus on scaling larger healthcare networks and public sector deployments while deepening AI integration into healthcare procurement systems across the region.
