Press Release: GAINS Unleashes Revolutionary Decision Engineering Platform, Leapfrogging Conventional SCP and Network Design Offerings

100 percent implementation success rates and 100 percent Willingness to Recommend customer reviews confirm that the GAINS P3 approach is unrivaled; GAINS Results NowTM Program launches

Chicago, IL, Nov. 29, 2023 – GAINS, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for optimizing supply chain performance, today unveiled its new purpose-built decision engineering platform that addresses supply chain volatility by harnessing the power of composable artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and heuristics to optimize outcomes. Sitting as a Halo above your existing systems, GAINS augments and compliments IBP, APS, and ERP offerings, delivering rapid performance improvements and results without the need to rip and replace existing investments. While celebrating the continued achievement of 100 percent successful deployments and exemplary customer reviews in 2023, GAINS also launched its GAINS Results NowTM Program to deliver pre-composed solution sets engineered to address high-impact decisions. Amber Salley, Vice President of Industry Solutions at GAINS and former Gartner analyst, made the groundbreaking announcement at the 2023 Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit in Phoenix.

Approaches are Converging – Decision Engineering Beyond Design and Planning

With the rapid emergence and maturation of advanced AI and ML toolsets, the worlds of traditional operations research (OR), data science, and decisioning are converging. The latest innovation within the GAINS Performance Optimization Platform recognizes this advancement and is unlocking a new approach to decision engineering. Through our Proven Path to PerformanceSM (P3) methodology, GAINS helps customers navigate and compose solutions, leveraging the unique tools and methods required for each decision, optimized and engineered to assess risk and drive impact. This new decisioning layer allows companies to continually question and address policies while evaluating decision impacts across the network.

“Customer success and value creation are our top priority at GAINS. Many organizations are just one decision away from driving meaningful profit and savings in their business,” said Dave Shrager, President of GAINS. “Today’s unveiling marks a pivotal moment for GAINS and our customers. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of customers’ challenges, we’re able to leverage our P3 methodology to help prioritize decisions around impact. We are redefining the rules of supply chain decision-making by embracing volatility, integrating probabilistic, stochastic, and dynamic programming and composability into a taxonomy that transcends design, decision impact, and policy.”
