About Aumet
Aumet, founded in 2016, describes itself as building an AI-first procurement operating system for healthcare. The platform handles procurement, inventory management and decision-making across the healthcare ecosystem, from individual pharmacies to national health systems, replacing manual procurement cycles with AI-driven automation, predictive analytics and real-time data integration across manufacturers, distributors and providers. It was founded by Yahya Aqel, now chief executive, with Adel Haddad named as a co-founder in Wamda's coverage. Earlier reporting traces the company to Jordan, where it acquired the ordering platform Uniorders in 2020, and it joined the Techstars accelerator that year. Recent coverage describes it as Saudi Arabia-based, and the company reports offices in Jordan and Abu Dhabi. According to the company's figures reported by Wamda, Aumet has handled around USD 1 billion in gross merchandise value and more than five million annual transactions, serving over 12,000 pharmacies and connecting more than 1,000 pharmaceutical suppliers. Its enterprise platform is deployed in 32 hospitals, more than 500 medical centres and 18 medical warehouses. The enterprise version was first rolled out at Al-Bashir Hospital in Jordan, described as the country's largest hospital, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship. The company says it reduced medication waste there, producing savings of more than JOD 2.3 million in a single year. Abu Dhabi-based AI company Presight has signed an agreement with Aumet to extend the system across Jordan's public healthcare system. Presight was separately awarded a healthcare digital transformation contract by Jordan's digital economy ministry in September 2024. Aumet operates in Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC, Jordan, Egypt and France, and Qatar is on the near-term roadmap, with plans to hire a dedicated business development team there. In May 2026 the company closed a USD 12 million Series A led by Emkan Capital, with SABAH.fund, Qatar Development Bank and AAIC participating, alongside existing backers Shorooq Partners and Right Side Capital Management and strategic healthcare investors Cigalah Group and Salehiya. Emkan Capital described Aumet as building a foundational operating system for healthcare supply chains in emerging markets, and Abbas Kazmi of SABAH.fund cited founder-market fit as the central investment thesis. Aumet says the Series A will fund AI expansion, deeper enterprise deployments and faster regional growth. Aqel has argued that healthcare supply chains suffer from a lack of intelligence rather than a lack of supply.
