Design Features
The Only Modern Supply Chain Design Platform Built for Uncertainty
Everyone else is optimizing yesterday’s assumptions.
We’re modeling tomorrow’s realities.
For decades, design tools have used the same deterministic math.
One set of inputs, one “optimal” answer, and a thousand hidden assumptions. But real supply chains don’t operate that way. They live in uncertainty.
GAINS breaks from that outdated model with Risk Adjusted Design (RAD). The first patent pending approach that models uncertainty across different operational possibilities in one simultaneous solve.
It’s how you see what’s likely, what’s risky, what’s resilient, and find hidden answers when run together, all before you commit. It allows you to determine and quantify the future levels of uncertainty you want to accept based on your organization’s risk appetite.
Most design tools deliver one mathematically “optimal” answer. But supply chains don’t operate in a single scenario. GAINS changes the equation. And GAINS doesn’t stop there.
Supply Chain Design for Multiple Real-World Scenarios
- Intermediate Feasible Solutions expose a set of alternative viable networks within your “zone of indifference,” revealing trade offs others hide.
- DEO Agentic AI Assist brings natural language into the modeling process. Interact with your model data during every step of the modeling process.
- Model Builder guides anyone through design creation, lowering the technical barrier to entry.
- Automated Tariff Integration pulls rates straight from government sources and keeps pace with ever-shifting trade policies, saving time and delivering accuracy you can trust
And by integrating design with inventory optimization, simulation, and planning within the GAINS platform, GAINS embeds Design into its broader framework of Decision Engineering & Orchestration (DEO), turning strategy into execution and ensuring every network design actually performs in the real world.
Modern supply chain design shouldn’t depend on guesswork or outdated math, it should depend on deep domain expertise and real world understanding.
GAINS is your guide to understanding. Through transparency, intelligence, and design built for uncertainty.
Why Companies Choose GAINS
Design for uncertainty
Build confidence into every decision with Risk Adjusted Design (RAD).
See the options others miss
Evaluate feasible alternatives within your zone of indifference.
Unite design and execution
Quantify inventory, service, and cost impacts before change hits your network.
Accelerate analysis
DEO AI Assist automates scenario creation, validation, and insight; reducing cycle time from weeks to hours.
Own your design
Built by practitioners, GAINS empowers your internal team to design, test, and iterate with speed.
Differentiators
Patent Pending Risk Adjusted Design (RAD)
Model multiple potential futures in a single simultaneous solve, quantifying expected value, variance, and downside risk.
Why it matters: You design with confidence under uncertainty, not false precision.
Intermediate Feasible Solutions
Reveals every viable network within your “zone of indifference,” allowing you
to weigh cost, service, and risk trade offs.
Why it matters: You don’t just see the best mathematical answer, you understand the smartest options enabling non-modeled considerations.
AI Assist (Agentic AI)
Guides analysts through scenario creation, error diagnosis, and data validation and infeasibility detection and resolution using natural language and contextual awareness.
Why it matters: Shrinks time to insight and lowers reliance on specialized experts.
Integrated Inventory Optimization and Simulation
Evaluates service, cost trade offs and validates performance before implementation.
Why it matters: Connects design to planning, closing the gap between what you model and what your network can deliver.
Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners
Every feature, from Model Builder to Tariff Integration, is grounded in how design work actually gets done.
Why it matters: You get depth without friction. Power users get flexibility; executives get clarity.
Build a Network That Can Handle Anything
Model uncertainty, validate performance, and connect strategy to execution—all inside the GAINS DEO platform.
