Lyric Studio

Lyric is a private enterprise software company founded in 2021 by Ganesh Ramakrishna and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Palo Alto, Chicago, Amsterdam, Bangalore, Chennai and Pune. The founding team previously built Opex Analytics, acquired by LLamasoft. Lyric treats supply chain planning as a set of connected math problems instead of fixed workflows in legacy planning suites.

Lyric Studio is an AI-native platform with four layers: data (semantic architecture and knowledge graphs), algorithms (30+ prebuilt optimization, simulation, heuristic and ML blocks, GPU-accelerated), sequence (visual canvas to compose decision journeys) and experience (apps, APIs and Excel), with agentic AI connected via MCP and A2A. It covers network design, demand, supply, inventory, transportation, capacity and labor decisions. Users include Mondelez, PepsiCo, DHL Supply Chain and Estee Lauder.

• Data layer: semantic model and knowledge graphs unifying ERP and external signals.
• Algorithm layer: 30+ prebuilt optimization, simulation and ML blocks, GPU-accelerated.
• Sequence layer: no-code canvas with auto scenarios of hundreds of variants per run.
• Experience layer: role-based apps, APIs and Excel front ends.
• Agentic AI: data agent for SQL-free queries and agents connected via MCP and A2A.
• Decision coverage: network design, demand, supply, inventory, transport and labor.

• A Vietnamese beverage or snack producer can redesign its distribution network and depot locations.
• A 3PL can replan warehouse labor and transport capacity in hours during peak season.
• A consumer goods company can optimise trade promotion and inventory allocation together.

• Deployments go live in 8 to 12 weeks, starting with one decision and expanding.
• DHL Supply Chain replans in hours instead of days; e.l.f. Beauty moved from Excel macros to connected planning in six months.
• Works alongside existing ERP and planning systems, so nothing must be replaced first.
• Every recommendation comes with what-and-why explanations for planners.

Large consumer goods and logistics companies are moving from monolithic planning suites to composable, AI-native decision platforms that combine optimization with AI agents. Multinational FMCG groups with plants and distribution networks in Southeast Asia need faster network and inventory scenario analysis.
