AIMMS

AI-assisted supply chain planning and network optimization, combining SC Navigator scenario modeling with the SENSAI AI companion.

About AIMMS

AIMMS combines mathematical optimization with AI-assisted interaction to help supply chain teams evaluate network decisions and compare trade-offs. Its optimization models calculate results from business data, objectives and constraints. SENSAI adds a natural-language experience around those models, making optimization more accessible to business users and developers. SC Navigator is AIMMS's ready-to-use supply chain planning and network design application. Teams can model their existing network, compare what-if scenarios, evaluate distribution-center locations and flows, and assess cost, service and carbon objectives. Its capabilities include center-of-gravity analysis and inventory optimization, helping planners understand how changes to the network affect the wider supply chain. SENSAI provides in-application explanations and navigation guidance. SENSAI Pro adds conversational changes to data and scenario execution, with user control over changes. AIMMS also offers SENSAI Data Ready for data preparation and SENSAI Apps for developers building custom optimization applications. The available functionality depends on the selected application, modules and SENSAI tier. SC Navigator is delivered as SaaS and supports Excel data import and an SAP data accelerator. For custom solutions, AIMMS Developer and AIMMS PRO support building and deploying optimization applications in the cloud or on premises. The platform's Data Exchange library supports REST APIs and common file formats, while AIMMS Cloud provides Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. Integration and deployment options vary between SC Navigator, AIMMS Cloud and custom-built applications. AIMMS traces its origins to 1989. Its official customer stories cover supply chain planning at HF Sinclair, capacity planning at Heineken, BASF supply chain operations and retail network design at Peapod. It is particularly relevant to enterprise manufacturers, shippers and retailers managing complex networks and to operations research teams developing tailored decision applications.
