You know the impact your network design project delivers. You’ve seen the results - cost savings, better service levels, improved resilience. But when it’s time to communicate that impact to leadership, the conversation often falls flat. It’s not because the impact isn’t there; it’s because it’s not communicated in the language that matters to business leaders. In our latest blog, we break down a simple, structured way to connect network design outcomes to what decision-makers actually care about: ✔ Strategic KPIs ✔ Clear baselines ✔ ROI and payback ✔ Tangible business impact If you’re preparing a business case or looking to justify continued investment in your network design projects, this one’s worth a read.

Is Your Network Strategy Stuck in the Past? ❗Overweighting cost ❗Overfitting to resilience ❗Designing for a single objective These are some of the biggest mistakes companies make in today’s volatile supply chain landscape. Most networks were designed in a different era, one where cost-efficiency reigned supreme and strategic reviews were rare. But the world has changed. Markets shift faster. Disruptions hit harder. Yet many organizations are still relying on outdated frameworks. Gartner’s new report outlines a smarter, more adaptive approach to network design, one that evolves with your business, not against it. Download it now: https://lnkd.in/ezPQYppk.

Just Launched - AIMMS Transport Navigator 🚛 For logistics teams, route planning is a constant puzzle - juggling driver breaks, delivery windows, fleet mix, and cost efficiency. Spreadsheets and traditional heuristic-only tools? They’re no longer enough. That’s where Transport Navigator steps in. With solver-powered optimization that combines heuristics and mathematical models, it helps you tackle questions like: - What fleet size and vehicle type do I need to serve all delivery points? - What are the optimal fixed routes for my network?

Building a custom optimization app often means choosing between speed and flexibility. Most tools fall into two extremes: - Off-the-shelf apps that are quick to deploy but hard to customize - Open-source frameworks that offer flexibility but require serious development effort But what if you didn���t have to choose? With AIMMS Optimization Tooling, you get the best of both worlds. It’s a complete environment to design, build, and deploy powerful optimization applications tailored to your business: ✅ A modeling environment built for rapid prototyping ✅ UI and workflow tools to create complete user-facing applications ✅ Seamless cloud deployment Whether you have in-house experts or want to work with one of our implementation partners, you can start building quickly, with full flexibility.
