GAINS DEO Supply Chain Planning Platform

GAINSystems (GAINS) is a supply chain planning software company with offices in Atlanta and Chicago, international branch offices in Canada, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates, and affiliate offices in Australia and Mexico. It serves hundreds of manufacturers, distributors, retailers and service parts and MRO operators that need to keep factories running and shelves stocked while cutting carrying and transport costs.

Its DEO (Decision Engineering and Orchestration) platform connects supply chain design and planning: network optimization, scenario modeling and digital twin; demand planning and forecasting with AI demand prediction and machine-learning lead time prediction; inventory optimization including multi-echelon optimization for ERP; replenishment, production planning, S&OP and transportation strategy. The DEO agentic agent and supply decision automation prioritise high-impact actions, and GAINS Connect API links ERP data.

• Supply chain design: network optimization, scenario simulation and digital twin.
• Demand planning: AI demand prediction and forecasting.
• Lead time prediction: machine-learning estimates of supplier lead times.
• Inventory optimization: multi-echelon optimization delivered on top of ERP.
• Replenishment and production planning: automated supply decisions and S&OP.
• DEO agentic agent: prioritises and orchestrates high-impact decisions.

• An electrical or industrial supplies distributor in Vietnam can automate replenishment for a large SKU base.
• A power or mining operator can optimise MRO spare parts across sites.
• A manufacturer can model a new warehouse or plant location before investing.

• Distributor Border States reports a 976% ROI, with full return in just over a month, after automating replenishment across 250,000+ SKUs.
• GAINS cites a 98% customer retention rate and a 100% implementation success rate.
• Lead time prediction with machine learning reduces buffer stock held for supplier uncertainty.
• One platform links network design decisions with daily planning.

Distributors and MRO operators are adopting AI-driven inventory and lead-time prediction to cope with tariffs and supplier variability. In Southeast Asia, growing manufacturing bases and industrial distribution create demand for multi-echelon inventory optimization on top of existing ERPs.
