Strategic collaboration combines GAINS’ advanced planning capabilities with Miebach’s supply chain transformation expertise to help organizations build resilient, high-performing supply chains
ATLANTA – April 22, 2026 – GAINS, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for optimizing supply chain performance, and Miebach, a global supply chain consulting and engineering firm, today announced a strategic collaboration to support organizations seeking to improve supply chain planning performance and decision quality.
Initial efforts will focus on supply chain planning, helping organizations modernize planning processes, improve decision quality, and build more resilient, profitable value chains.
GAINS provides capabilities including lead time prediction, AI-powered demand prediction, supply chain decision automation, and multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO). These capabilities can enhance planning performance within broader planning platforms or as targeted solutions that complement existing systems.
Miebach maintains a vendor-agnostic approach to supply chain technology, working with a curated ecosystem of planning platforms and digital solutions selected based on each client’s operating model, data maturity, and performance objectives.
“Supply chain leaders are under pressure to move beyond spreadsheets and siloed tools and build planning capabilities that can keep up with the pace of their business,” said Bill Benton, Co-Founder of GAINS. “By combining GAINS’ planning capabilities with Miebach’s strategy, engineering, and digital expertise, we can help customers redesign their planning processes, embed better decisions into day-to-day operations, and turn resilience into a real competitive advantage.”
“Organizations continue to invest heavily in planning systems, yet the expected performance improvements often remain elusive,” said Bernard Tremblay, CEO USA & Canada, Miebach. “GAINS brings strong capabilities in supply chain planning, including multi-echelon inventory optimization, predictive lead time modeling, and decision automation, that complement our broader work helping companies modernize planning processes and improve performance across complex supply chains.”
Through this collaboration, GAINS and Miebach will support manufacturers, distributors, and consumer-focused organizations seeking to improve service, cost, and inventory performance across complex supply chain networks.
