Robotic software firm UiPath has acquired Peak, a Manchester, England player that provides services to the rapidly growing agentic AI space.
The Peak AI platform optimises product inventory and pricing for businesses of all sizes and across a wide range of industries, providing customers with “tangible outcomes quickly”, and without the need for large, in-house tech teams - that’s the promise.
Peak’s solutions will form the backbone of new pricing and inventory agents for UiPath customers. Peak’s broader decision intelligence capabilities will also factor into the orchestration capabilities in the UiPath agentic automation platform, allowing for autonomous processes based on contextual customer data.
The two companies already had an existing go-to-market relationship. For example, UiPath and Peak transformed the quoting pricing process for Heidelberg Materials, based in the UK, and one of the world’s largest building materials manufacturers. The solution uses automation to collate data from hundreds of data points, leverages AI to determine an optimal quote for a given customer, and informs sales professionals.
With this automated end-to-end process, Heidelberg Materials says it is experiencing much greater sales team efficiency through faster quotation times and conversion rates.
“With the acquisition of Peak, we are accelerating our mission to strengthen our vertical AI solutions strategy,” said Daniel Dines, founder and CEO of UiPath. “When combined with the UiPath platform, Peak’s exceptional purpose-built AI applications will enhance our ability to provide solutions that optimise industry-specific use cases and deliver incredible value to customers.”
Peak enables customers to develop AI workflows, process data, and provide predictions that are used to optimise critical business processes through APIs or integrated web applications.
As part of UiPath, Peak said its solutions can scale globally and reach new industries, allowing customers and stakeholders the opportunity for continued growth and innovation. In turn, Peak’s focus on accelerating AI adoption in sectors like retail and manufacturing, will enable UiPath to accelerate market growth and deliver vertical-oriented, next-generation AI-driven agentic applications with intelligence powered by LLMs (large language models).
“Joining forces with UiPath is the perfect next step for Peak at this stage of our journey. As automation and agentic AI converge, we’re entering a new era of possibilities for the enterprise,” said Richard Potter, CEO and co-founder of Peak. “UiPath’s global reach, deep enterprise expertise, and unwavering commitment to AI innovation will enable us to accelerate our vision of empowering businesses with specialised decision-making AI at scale.”
Judging by its just released financial results, UiPath certainly needs help in generating new sales. While the company delivered fourth-quarter revenue growth of 4.5% year-on-year $423.6m, its share price dived on the news.
UiPath's underwhelming FY2026 revenue guidance was $1.53 billion, implying just 6.8% growth compared to the 9.8% seen for FY2025's 9.8%. This was 3.6% below analyst expectations.
The UiPath share price is down about 50% compared to where it was a year ago. The value of the Peak acquisition has not been disclosed.
