Salesforce said it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Loops, an analytics platform powered by artificial intelligence. Seeking Alpha reported that the companies did not disclose the terms of the transaction. The deal is expected to close in early November 2026, during the first month of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027.
The acquisition is intended to support Salesforce’s agentic analytics strategy by helping customers determine what drives business performance, prioritize responses and move from insight to action within their workflows. In a statement on Monday, Salesforce said it plans to add Loops’s technology and specialized talent to Tableau after the transaction closes.
“Tableau’s mission has been helping people see, understand and act on data,” Mark Recher, EVP and GM of Tableau, said in the press release. He added that Loops uses agentic AI to identify the factors behind business performance and highlight where teams and agents can act in real time.
