AIMMS Recognized as a Niche Player in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning

Haarlem, North Holland, 28 April 2024 – AIMMS proudly announces its recognition as a Niche Player in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning. We believe that our inclusion in this prestigious research reaffirms our commitment to delivering specialized software solutions to the market.

In our perspective, this acknowledgment underscores AIMMS’ promise to democratize the power of optimization through our solutions, making advanced decision-making accessible to everyone. In the supply chain planning space, this means offering technology for planning and optimization of the most complex networks.

Our Niche Player Status

We think AIMMS is uniquely positioned to support optimization needs within the supply chain planning sector. Our inclusion underscores our specialized capabilities and our alignment with current trends toward best-of-breed software solutions, particularly for larger enterprises looking for tailored functionality and high adaptability in their operations.

AIMMS Solutions

We believe AIMMS’ position as Niche Player in the Magic Quadrant is a testament to our unique low-code platform, which empowers businesses to create and deploy custom supply chain planning applications. With an off-the-shelf Network Design and Planning application, AIMMS offers solutions across all layers of the supply chain.

Today, more than 2000 applications are built with the AIMMS Optimization Platform and are solving the world’s most complex supply chain challenges. In different industries and focusing on various goals – from cost reduction and profit maximization to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing service levels. Despite their differences, they all share a common goal: to manage mission-critical solutions effectively on a large scale.

Benefit From 35 Years of Experience

With 35 years of experience in supporting midsize to enterprise companies, our customers benefit from working with a pure-play optimization partner. The applications built on the AIMMS platform are key for our customers, as they ensure competitive advantage by:

• 100% fit for purpose: the applications are unique, ensuring a 100% fit for the business’ characteristics and challenges. Often those characteristics which distinguish businesses in their market, are not catered for in standard solutions.
• Faster time to value: by building a prototype in hours and having all the tools inside the AIMMS technology to deploy apps to end users at scale, the time to value is much faster compared to traditional software implementations.
• Data-driven decision making: whatever challenge is solved by AIMMS applications, they all have in common that they answer the ‘What should we do?’ question with prescriptive analytics, allowing users to make the best decision.

For supply chain optimization questions that do not require a unique custom solution, AIMMS’ SC Navigator, a powerful off-the-shelf solution for Supply Chain Network Design and planning, showcases our capabilities in providing standard yet adaptable solutions for complex supply chain challenges. Other than the traditional Network Design tools, which only focus on strategic decision-making, SC Navigator also supports tactical decision-making.

In every solution AIMMS provides, user adoption is key. We believe that our technology truly adds value only when it empowers users to achieve optimal outcomes seamlessly and on a scale.
